Faith & Evil

Good faith
Does not justify evil;
When faith justifies evil
It is bad faith.

Small & Large

When our world is small
Everything seems large
And when our world is large
Everything seems small;
Perception
Determines importance
Better than measurement.

Love & Form

Love is a chaotic rebel;
Whenever it becomes organized
It looses its essence.
In the proverbial battle
Between form and substance,
Love clings to substance
And sacrifices form.

Strength & Offendability

Allowing insults to offend
Is weakness;
The strong are unoffendable
Nor notice insults.

Law & Conscience

When law and conscience clash
Those who follow their conscience
Hold their conscience above the law
And those who follow the law
Hold the law above their conscience;
This dilemma spawns conflicts
That may not have solutions.

Love & Dependence

Love strengthens us
Altruism levitates us
Hate fractures us
Indifference flattens us
Yearnings nourish us
And dependence diminishes us.

Problem & Solution

Between
Defiance and acceptance
Struggle and surrender
Solution and problem
Victory and defeat
Lies tolerance
The flying white flag
Of peaceful coexistence.
