Harmonious Conflict

Harmonious Conflict

Why do we always
Want
when we have so much?

We need more
We need novel
We need better

We constantly seek
try to absorb the environment
and forget
What's inside

Who you are
What you can do
Who you really want to be

Do we struggle
to appreciate
what we have?
Are we not satisfied?

Will we ever be?

Do we always want more

so we can

protect our weak

core?

A structure is strong
if it stands upon
strong base
strong ground

Are the initial conditions the problem?
Can we reset
back to the start?

If we're raised in a place with so much
hate
greed
gluttony
ignorance
intolerance

If we're born into a place
with so many illusions
filled with disillusioned

Beware of faulty structures

It's hard to understand
It's hard to make sense of it all

Every individual views this world
in a unique way

As an individual I can choose
how I view myself in this world

I am alive
Although I did not choose to be born
I am free to choose to live

I think
I am in control
of my actions

I believe
I am important
I am unique

I am only in control of myself
And I live in a very uncertain
uncontrollable world

Certain things happen
many of them
due purely to chance
We think it's fate

Though
the majority of the moments of our life
are mundane and boring
we continue our journey
We live for the meaningful ones

we hope
we enjoy
we believe
we must have faith

In every difficulty
There can be an opportunity

Perhaps
through all the superficial conversation
Eventually one will feel meaningful

Mostly based on probability?
what you find important?
and how many bonds you have?

As a population
We observe too much
We no longer experience

We have become critical
We have lost our roots
Too many tools

Living life lost in the artificial

The clock
beats
constant
but always
feels
too quick

We must experience
We try
We do

We have to be active
We are too sedentary

Our bodies are capable of so much more
Are our minds?

Everyone's view of the world is biased
They are just too biased to see
That includes me

We live in the infinite
We try to view the blur of grey
as perfect lines of black and white

We're out of touch
it's hard to see
Have we gone too far?

Controversy is inevitable
But
Our tolerance must
be more credible

How can we make this life
more unforgettable?

Is change the only constant
in this sea of variables?

We believe we are progressing
but are we changing for the better?
