Predictable & Trustworthy

Mother nature
Is less predictable
But more trustworthy;
Human nature
Is more predictable
But less trust worthy.

Generosity & Gratitude

When expected generosity
Is abruptly terminated
It begets indignation
Instead of gratitude.

Obeying & Disobeying

Obeying comes because of
Fear, need, obligation, passion
Conviction and intuition;
Disobeying comes because of
Hubris, dislike, disagreement, malevolence
And the violation of conscience and intuition.

Mother Nature & Human Nature

Most tragedies and disasters
Are either caused by mother nature
Or by human nature
And neither of these two fierce forces
Is under rational control.

Reality & Imagination

On a nudist beach
The most intriguing bathers
Are the ones wearing swimsuits;
Whereas reality disillusions
Imagination beautifies.

Primitivism & Enlightenment

Primitivism
The archenemy of enlightenment
Is doubly dangerous because
Those who are primitive
Consider themselves enlightened
And consider those who are enlightened
Primitive.

Aesthetics & Emotions

Aesthetics
Are tied to emotions;
It is difficult not to love something
Which we perceive as beautiful
And it’s even more difficult
Not to hate something
Which we perceive as ugly.
