If it is foolish to fall in love with the ideal of someone, it is dangerous to fall in love with the idea of someone.
Waste no more time convincing the fool, especially not when it is you.

Sometimes the answer is the problem.

In aphorism, proverb on 20160916 at 00:09
If time is a luxury, busyness is poverty.
Wisdom is lost on fools’ ears. Ignorance is found on fools’ tongues.
If to ignore something is intentional, then ignorance is an act of intention.
A waste is a terrible thing to mind.

《What Is, What Wills》
Once upon the deep, dwelled two pairs of seafaring lovers.
Both lived rather normal lives aboard their ships on the sea, full of ups and downs, as anyone would expect to see upon the sea.
On calm seas, both pairs made love with the illimitable passion of lovers held at bay.
But the sky does what a sky wills, and so oft brewed blackened clouds with the inevitable unknown beyond. It was in these times that the difference between the lovemakers was never more lucid.
For when the storms blew in, as only a fool could deny the inevitability of, the seasoned couple ceased their lovemaking, wisely understanding their lovemaking to be powerless against warding off the mighty storm. To them, worry was a more worthy and more rewarding charm.
The other couple continued to make love like only reckless lovers knew, much to the chagrin of the other lovers. And it was true that the lovers’ lovemaking did nary a thing to make the storm go away, to shorten the waves, or to lessen the impact.
Also true was it, that the cessation of the other lovers’ lovemaking neither did anything to encourage the passing of the storm.
For a truth is a truth as is a sail a sail. Wisdom lies in wielding a truth, not simply holding a truth.
For in the end, to the common eye, it was plain to see that lovemaking -and its lack thereof- had absolutely nary a thing to do with the coming of the storm, the size of the storm, nor the passing of the storm.
With the passing of a storm, what remained for the eye to see was but two sets of lovers at sea and two kinds of love as they so fit to see.
One, a weakened bond of fair weather lovers, who made love only when the sea was calm, losing only the opportunity to love each other through and so weather a storm together.
The other, a strengthened bond between the lovers, who made love without regard to a storm (or was it very much with regard to the storm?), losing only themselves in each other whether or not came the weather.
For a storm is what only a storm wills, and love is only what love wills.

《the way》
dear little one,
the world is yours.
the world was yours
even before you belonged
to it.
it was, is, and will be
your redemption as often
as it will be your nemesis.
do not be afraid, for fear
will not carry your burdens
nor will it shelter you
from the elements.
have hope as much as will
allow triumph
over the ills of present,
but none so much that
you deceive yourself
of the realities of the future
or the consequences of the past.
days of sorrow will weave
a tight knit alongside joy,
neither with warning
nor with limitation.
you shall persist because
you know of nothing else,
not only because you will it.
for as a mortal, possibility
is as finite only as is time.
what tomorrow will bring you,
yesterday has already taken
away, with a fluidity that
surprises with subtlety.
you will love and hurt,
feel pain and transfer pain.
you will always forgive
because the alternative
is no alternative.
fairness and justice
will oft be at odds
with one another and for you.
you will not always deserve
your destiny, but you will
decide not to deny it.
for tonight, the sun sets low,
but tomorrow, high,
high shall the sun rise up.
oh, little one, until tomorrow,
good night.

In aphorism, proverb on 20120513 at 23:57
bystander:
noun; one who stands by [something], and thus condones [something], even supports [something].
A foolish argument is grounded in a foundation of desperation.
The fool praise the light, but live by the darkness.
The only way to fight evil is to not join it, not contribute to it.
The fool trust not those without intention to convert, confusing conversion for conviction.
The fool ask ‘How to conquer those who threaten us?’, not facing the reality of their contribution.
Who is without a weapon is feared only by the fool.
Defenseless, the fool become defensive.
Defense, by any other name, is offense.
Where some fool are critical, other fool are insecure.
Where two side against one, is strength only but numbers, is weakness only but elsewhere.
The fool seek not to hear, with a defense of listening.
The fool have ears, but do not hear; have eyes, but do not see; have hearts, but do not feel.
Resolution led by a moderator is not a resolution of two.
The fool don’t the best they can, the wise do the best they can’t.
Seize wisdom from the depths, net ignorance from the shallows.
The fool adjudge assumptions, the wise consider intentions.
Criticism that negates compliments exposes false compliments; criticism that complements compliments reveals true compliments.
Forever to be trusted, are the fool and their fallacy.
Sooner an apology to be forgiven than the innocent to be spared.
The fool hear with ears that deceive.
Where fault lies, a defense is readied. Where understanding lies, an offense is unnecessary.
Do plumbers have pipe dreams?
Sooner a parent to side with the other than with truth.
Wisdom is not without extent.
Perspective and understanding are but two sides of a multi-dimensional reality.
Concern falls as criticism to fool ears.
The fool have a defense for every criticism, an offense for every defense, a criticism for every offense.
Who is fool enough to fight logic with illogic, falls victim to his own weapon.
What time does not heal, memory must forgive.
No one judges more or less than the next -some admit it, others deny it.
A poor defense is as good as no defense.
The fool fail to fathom the color beyond text, black and white.

In aphorism, proverb on 20120510 at 23:57
The fool’s truth is not truth.
Trust takes time.
Trajectory with misdirection, is a truth twisted.
The fool share their trash, hide their treasures.
Exclusion will betray you in time; inclusion is loyal, now and forever, to you and to all.
Priorities are more than hopeful words, they are actions, our past actions. In the history of our beings, can we view our priorities.

In aphorism, proverb, question on 20120509 at 23:58
A fish out of water is the first to evolve.
I’d rather that you are loyal to the truth, than to me. For I will change, and you may not change with me. But if I am loyal to the truth, and also are you loyal, then always will I find your loyalty near.
A half truth is a whole falsity.
There is a war between the ego and the superego that started before time itself.
If you cannot do it right, is doing it wrong better than delaying doing it or simply not doing it?
Only in the midst of hardship, does our true character.
The fool fail to see the light -lo, they are blind even to the darkness that envelops them.
Light is born in the darkness, though it is not of the darkness.
One minute, the fool in darkness; the next minute, the wise enlightened.
The fool are not below wisdom, the wise are not above foolery.

In aphorism, proverb on 20111016 at 23:22
One’s past reflects one’s priorities, just as one’s priorities will forecast one’s future.
Erase prejudice; rewrite perception.
Others’ perceptions of you do not define you.
Truth is not a trend.
Beware the thief who steals with your consent.
Where growls a sheep, feigns a wolf.
Delusion is a choice.

Give once, receive twice.
Hope lies around every corner.
There is no perfect time, only the present time.
