Food & Noise

Restaurants that compete
In serving large portions of unhealthy foods
With even larger portions of disturbing noise
Must think that having more to eat and less to say
Are the corner stones of a healthy social intercourse.

Calling & Intrusion

When we are seized
With the urge to call someone
We forget that our call is an intrusion.

Age & Distance

We laughed at old age
Because it seemed too distant
Then cried when we got there
Because it was too near.

Pain & Joy

Memories of pain and suffering
Outlast those of pleasure and joy.

Initial & Success

Initial successes
Blind us to potential failures;
The gambler who initially wins
Then returns to lose everything,
The initial weight loss with a diet
Followed by subsequent weight gain,
The initial passion of a relationship
Followed by a dirty divorce,
The winning of the first battle
Followed by losing the war…

Delusions & Realities

Humanity
Is powered by delusions
And disempowered by realities.

Need & Treatment

People will treat you better
The more they need you
And worse, the more you need them.
