Well & Too Well

When things go well
We tend to feel well
But when things go too well
We should become cautious.

Love & Bad

Whenever love is bad
It’s just mad desire
Mistaken for love.

Opinions & Biases

Opinions, un-researched
And un-rehearsed
Are biases.

Age & Surprise

When we were young
The old were a different species
Now that we’re old, the young are us;
Nothing and no one prepares us for age
And when it comes, it’s always a surprise;
Moi?  I can't believe it.

Officious & Thoughts

Officious thoughts
Which intrude on our mind
Are instinctive, primitive thoughts
Originating from the unenlightened animal
Living inside of us, barking like a dog
And disturbing our inner quietude;
The only thing we can do
Is to shoo the dog
When it barks.

Good & Bad Emotions

Clinging to good emotions
Shedding bad emotions
Keeps the soul joyful
And the heart fond;
Dampening good emotions
Nurturing bad emotions
Dis-enlightens life.

Reality & Perception

Reality
Is perception;
Different individuals
Look at the same thing
But each sees it differently;
What we don’t see with our minds
Isn’t real to us, even if it’s real to others;
We live in our minds, and our minds
Constitute our individual realities.
