The quarrel
with Honesty
is how well
t'is recieved
"Oh,
pardon me,
do i challenge
your comfort-zone of a school of thought?

Well,
shall we wait
right-f'king-here
as you call yer belovèd Status-Quo police?

Or,
can you be
enough of an adult
to permit such inevitable discrepancies?"
Seems unlikely most'a the time.
Why am i not suprised?
Such a pity.

Quasi-fictitious; yet realistic, withstanding.
it may be too late to go back and renew,
but t'will ne'er be too late to start anew,
lustful for new horizons, unsubdued!
`
care enough
about questions
to answer

and enough
about answers
to question
"Be
the kind of person
who makes
everyone
you come across
feel okay
being
exactly who they are."
"It matters not
the pace at which One moves
so long as One does not stop."

Everyone is creative.
Everyone has talent.
Few are disciplined.

Not only is it my First Amendment right to Freedoms of Speech, Press and Petition, but it is my obligation as a 'citizen' of a Democratic Republic to honestly criticize the Republic, assuming it is indeed still a Democratic Republic and not merely a Corporation wherein we are indentured servants.
Be kind in the face of hostility:
the show is the best on Earth!
Look,
the point is
there is no point,
so get over 'finding' one,
and start ******* making one.
That is the ******* point, right there.

The fact that we (may) disagree
doesn't at all mean
that we cannot agree;
in fact, as I see it,
all it means
is that we are both
mutually unique-

Fancy that.
We are individuals.

Maybe it is
that the greatest good can come
from the mean of our viewpoints,
and, hence,
the philosophy
of democracy.

If only
such a philosophy
was popular
among thy
who decide
our policy;
that is to say,
the Media:

it isn't democracy;
as long as you have faith in them,
it's whatever the **** they tell you;
whether you realize it
or not.
(Preferably not.)

Anyway,
the discrepancy between our viewpoints is not a sign of mutual distancing, but rather a sign of alternative philosophies.

According to Statistics,
larger "n" values (sample sizes)
lend themselves to a greater degree of accuracy.
Such known,
why do so many adhere to a perspective
that deliberately depends on limited n values?

I suppose
that an answer to that is
'the Shadow.'
Juangians, raise your hands! Yeah!

As an artifact of the Id and Ego,
(Freudians, raise your hands!),
it is ever-evolving;
yet, as an artifact of the Mind,
it is ever-apparent:

Command it,
or is shall command thee.
So, when someone disagrees,
do not meet them with resent,
but seek to meet them with respect.

Through compassion and respect
shall we re-inherit this Earth
from they, who seek control
via daemons of aforementioned
'public opinion.'

But, then again,
that's just my opinion.
You cannot change other people.
Regardless, it's rude to try.

Would you really want that kind of control, anyway?
To castrate the potential of a Mind you do not understand?

Maybe you should free your Mind, instead.

than revel in the ignorant convenience of it's absence
for the petty sake of mere fleeting Comfort."
