Proverb ~ He who is standing at the event horizon (the edge of the black hole), cannot see beyond himself.
*

Open your eyes to the fire shadowing your disdained behavior or be warned, you shall sail further down your ego pit of sorrow.  

For He that does not see …

     What be this flying (winged), stinging insect at your window sill this morn’n? (what be your problem today?)

Purify your desire, so as to LIVE ! (What you do is killing you).  Else the light of your love will die in the gravitational pull of your self-imposed black hole.

Have thee thoughts most contrite? Or be it thy will to serve others, if ye might?

Be it to pass down the wealth and spread it wide? Or be it a miser and keep the bounty hide?

Will you sing songs of praise to your fellows most fair or crack a wicked tongue, if you dare!

What be it you? Marked with vehemence, stewing in your greed, anger and ignorance.

Let it be done ~ change greed to generosity, anger into compassion and ignorance to wisdom.
