Dying & Sacrifice

The ultimate sacrifice
Is not dying for something;
It's living for it in spite of the pain.

Wrong & Wright

I worry when I think
That I might be wrong
But I worry more when I believe
That I am right.

Illusions & Disillusions

Most hopes
Begin as illusions
And end up as disillusions

Worship & Heaven

Worship
Is heaven’s bouquet
Of awe, love, fear, and hope.

Dreams & Homes

Robbing one’s dreams
Hurts more than robbing one’s home.

Deprivation & External

Eight deprivation states render us vulnerable & irrational:
Hunger, despair, loneliness, poverty
Aging, anger, hate, and lust;
The other three states, which render us vulnerable
But are not tentacles of the octopus of deprivation
Because they enter us from without
Are disease, intoxication, and love.

Enlightenment & Cruelty

A good measure of enlightenment
Is its absolute rejection of cruelty
At any cost and for any reason.
