Ideas & Time

Good ideas
Derive from previous ideas
And only occur to us when their times come;
None of us can ever have a good idea
Whose time has not yet come.

Love & Enemies

To love our enemies
We must shed fear and anger
And replace them with vicarious empathy.

Change & Evidence

We would rather
Make up justifications
Than change our minds
In response to evidence.

Conceal & Beauty

Beauty half-concealed
Is amplified by imagination
Whereas beauty fully revealed
Is diminished by its imperfections.

Unethical & Cruelty

Everything we do
That’s ethically wrong
Is a form of cruelty against others.

Talking & Making Love

A good test of a couple’s friendship
Is how long they talk after making love.

Technology & Industrialization

The most serious adverse consequence
Of modern technology and industrialization
Is the global epidemic of obesity.
