“The Evening Primrose

Like a flower blooming
From an Evening Primrose,
They, too, shall die
In great sorrow.
For they only were loved
When they bloomed;
Yet every Gardener knows
You must love the plant
From seed to wilt.”

“The sessions had been going on since the eleventh, and I was having a hard time coping with some of my childhood and adult memories. Some I would have rather left tucked inside of some hole that I never again revisited; but my psychotherapist, Doctor Herrenstein, told his patients that the longer they denied themselves remembering their memories, the longer they would deny themselves recovery. That remembering the past was painful, but necessary to the process of growth. Wasn't everything that was worth it also painful in the process of getting there?”

“...We would see people wanting to work, not for pennies on the dollar, or to try and keep up with inflation, but because their Government is taking care of them. The people make up the country, not the money. The money is a profiteering system which works more like a secondary reward.”

“The light was bright, too bright for others to see. Yet, in the bright light, I found myself seeing angels and demons; each trying to manipulate the other to do as they wished of them. In the bright light, I saw war being waged, two opposing sides tearing one-another apart with their bare hands. A yin-and-yang affect, the push and pull too great to ignore. As others turned away, blinded by the intolerable ignorance only those who perceived themselves as mortals could possess, I lunged forward; thrusting myself between each being's claws, attempting to protect not only angels but demons alike.”

“The most I could do was live this small bit of understanding as my truth, and hope others understood as well. That they would exhibit the truth in their own actions and words. That they would help one-another. That they would become good people. You rarely saw that anymore between the bystander effect and people simply being unknowledgeable about how to help others who were in need. Some, perhaps, did not even care.”

“Of Morals

How many viewpoints could there be?
Surely not more than of him, you, and me.
Above myself the halo does fly high,
But what about this other guy?
I claw my way out and to victory,
But right behind me the struggle can see.
Must fly or must fall, but neither can have,
When quickly enclosed in darkness I am.
Shocked and amazed, they try to pull me to safety,
But stuck am I for the world to see.
A misery's end, enclosed in rules;
The gods, they laugh at us, us fools.
Our earthly desire our doom entrances,
Simply because it our 'living' enhances."

“These are the untold stories of the sins and virtues and their many influences over the universe. Each and every one of us is touched by them, but it is up to the individual how open they are to their influence.
Morality depends on perspective, as even virtues can be used to create catastrophe under the right circumstances, and all have a responsibility to their philosophy and the compassion which must be instilled in all to promote a perception of peace.”

“The moral consideration an individual must establish typically comes down to the declaration that one would never commit such an atrocity - a telling of one's moral character in society - but typically also a lie; for one cannot presume to know the reasons or conditions leading to immoral actions without first understanding that many can easily be manipulated into committing even the most heinous of acts while believing their own position to be righteous. Whether due to familial obligation, work, or love - a person may usually be persuaded to do the devil's bidding.”
