The sound of evil is loudest at the peak of destruction, but it is soon muffled by the all-encompassing reverberation of the good that endures; the bite of evil is excruciating at the moment of impact, but it is soon defanged by the ever-soothing healing of the good that prevails

In our quest to live, we often forget to breathe; in our quest to dream, we often forget to sleep; in our quest to love, we often forget to care; in our quest to win, we often forget to play; in our quest to rule, we often forget to share; in our quest to become, we forget to be.

Through service, we empower our humanity; through prayer, we command the heavenly; through sacrifice, we secure our tomorrow; through education, we explore the unknown; through perseverance, we achieve the impossible; through justice, we release the oppressed - your call to duty.

The measure of failure is arbitrary, that of success is relative, for both situations draw on human emotions, making every disappointment a weapon of self-destruction, and turning every achievement into a key to self-delusion, neither with the guarantee of a life full of meaning.

There is no absolute in the state of mind of humans, between courage and cowardice, hope and despair, faith and doubt, ease and disease, joy and melancholy, fulfilment and emptiness, peace and anxiety, for in such opposing emotional states, the essence of living is being defined.

No one is wise, no one is foolish, for a fool, on occasions, may make a wise decision, and the wise, on many occasions, make foolish decisions, but, only a fool makes a bad decision, fails to take responsibility, and chooses to stick by it, while the wise does the exact opposite.

[3SqMeals @3sqmeals]

To borrow the wisdom of the old, is to borrow the consciousness of the wise, and to replace the folly of youth with the kind of insight that is beyond the grasp of one's peers; such wisdom, when acquired, is like quenching one's thirst with a drink from the fountain of knowledge.

[3SqMeals @3sqmeals]

Humans like to know, not for pure want of knowledge, but out of adulterated curiosity and a primitive desire of simply wanting to know; ignorance is not always a negative attribute, for when it is intentional and guided by discernment, it primes the mind to attain a higher realm.

When birds sing, humans hardly listen, yet these creatures generate a good proportion of nature's daily music repertoire; they sing with little care for who listens or not. If humans can learn from the birds, and sing irrespective of who listens, the world would be a better place

You are as likely to learn from the wise as you are likely to learn from a fool; from the wise, you learn what to do, from the fool, you learn what not to do, for every individual that you encounter on your journey is a teacher, and the journey itself, a metaphor for a classroom.

Injustice and justice, both share a segment of a DNA strand, such that those with power confuse having authority with autocracy, while those without power confuse helplessness with hopelessness, for injustice may rule for a season, justice, even when late in coming, leads the way

The cheer of the crowd is one over-rated recipe for success, but a healthy measure of self-belief is critical, for many rely on the external boost to the ego to advance; while the crowd may be vested in the outcome, success may never manifest without a sense of belief in oneself.

There are questions and there are questions, some, so simple it triggers a spontaneous response, some, so complex the response changes by the moment; the latter explains why the older I become, the same questions I once thought I had the answers for continue to defy simple logic.

Every newborn to the earth registers its arrival with a characteristic vocal expression, one that is recognized by all, with a meaning far beyond its simple interpretation, spiritual in a sense, but symbolic of a new equilibrium, or dysequilibrium, as the journey of life begins.

[3SqMeals @3sqmeals]

To suspect the power of nature is to question the existence of self, to ignore the call of nature is to undermine the sanctity of self, to obstruct the force of nature is to welcome the destruction of self, to exploit the elements of nature is to guarantee the elimination of self

[3SqMeals @3sqmeals]

The reality of being applies purely to the physicality of human existence, for the soul of the poor is not deprived, nor is that of the sick impaired, but the weak may find strength in weakness, the captive experience freedom in bondage, for the fullness of being lies in the soul

The anatomy of fear reveals it has no guts, the physiology of fear proves it has no blood, the pathology of fear shows it has no life, the psychology of fear signals it has no mind, the philosophy of fear means it has no idea, the ideology of fear says it has no future, why fear?

Every year has its ceremony, every month has its festival, every week has its event, every day has its routine, every hour has its ritual, every minute has its moment, every second has its limit, yet the simple measure of time is no true measure of any human's earthly existence.
