Sometimes...

the real monsters...

don't hide under our beds.

They sleep next to us.

Exhausted from,
Chasing contentment all my life,
I rested my weary heart,
And over-worked brain,
For a while.

Imagine my surprise,
When I realised,
At last, I was content.

-

I do not meditate.
I ruminate.

Just FYI,
That does not mean,

Thinking of Rumi,
Eight times.

The hypothalamus plays a major role in the regulation of basic biological drives related to survival, including the so called four 'F's: Fighting, fleeing, feeding and mating.

This is an actual quote from 'The Selfish Gene' by Richard Dawkins.

Sometimes, the jokes write themselves.

-

We only value life,
Because we know...
it will end one day.

Immortality is not a gift.
It is a curse.

Happiness IS a choice.

I do wish,
I did not have,
To go through so much pain,
To understand what that meant.

You cannot save someone,
Who is burning,
If they keep insisting,
You are actually the one on fire.

If you try nonetheless,
All you will get,
Is burned.

-

The world is not black and white.
It isn't even in shades of grey.
When one opens his eyes,
He sees that the world,
Is full of vibrant colours.

-

Two emotions,
Strength and Reality.

As different as the words they spell.
Strength is relative.

Reality however, is absolute.

You can choose to accept reality, if not welcome it,

Or reality is forced upon you.

Colouring inside the lines, thinking inside the box, is out-dated nowadays.

So out-dated in fact that,

colouring outside the lines, thinking out of the box, has become the norm.

The lines, the box, call it whatever you wish.

They are there for a reason.
