Elegance & Comfort

There’s a tug of war between elegance and comfort
The younger favor elegance and the older, comfort.

Thinking & Levels

One-level thinking is done by all animals
Two-level thinking is done by most humans
Multi-level thinking is only done by a few thinkers.

Greatness & Insanity

It is unwise to inflate one’s own self worth;
The delusion of greatness is intoxicating
And drives one into hubristic insanity.

Morality & Dogma

Teaching morality
Entails un-teaching dogma
And teaching ethics instead
So as to empower our conscience
To make all of our moral decisions.

Surmise & Conclude

It’s best to surmise rather than conclude
Surmising entails flexibility whereas
Concluding reeks of finality.

Trust & Nature

Homo sapiens cannot be trusted;
They all betray Mother Nature.

Power & Endurence

If we know with our foresights that certain things are inevitable
We are fools to fight them for the moment’s heroic sake;
If we could see only a few hundred years ahead
We would lose our ugliness and grow meeker
With the realization that no power endures.
Shortsightedness is the plight of humanity.
