Words & Images

Images need words
To have a full impact
Whereas words do not
Because their true images
Are evoked in the readers’ minds.

Biology & Intellect

As animals
We are similar biologically
But infinitely different intellectually
Because our biology is genetically programmed
Whereas our intellect is circumstantially programmed.

Mental & Exercises

Mental exercises for mental health
Are necessary for mental fitness;
Taming our burdensome thoughts
Through evidence-based inquiry
Dissociates them from our feelings
And disarms them, liberating us.

Taming & Nature

Dictatorships evolved to tame human nature;
Democracies, as a reaction against dictatorships;
And both have ended up tamed by human nature.

Joy & Waiting

Waiting for life’s tensions to subside
Before one settles down to enjoy it
Is postponing joy ad infinitum;
Joy does not come willingly
It is either seized
Or forever lost.

Love & Hate

It is much easier to hate than to love;
Humanity always chooses the easier ways;
That’s why hate still prospers and love still suffers.

Emotion & Seriousness

It is not only what happens
But also how we feel about it
That define a matter’s seriousness;
If we don’t know or don’t care, it matters not
But if we know and care, it matters a lot
And when we stop caring, it stops mattering;
Emotions define seriousness.
