An extremely hearty howdy to one and all. I trust everyone enjoyed a tolerable long weekend. Some less so than others I know.

I’m touching on a subject which often perplexes me both in myself and others. You believe you know what you want and actively pursue that end. At least in a cursory manner. Simultaneously however, whether consciously or not, you do not desire that result and in the end either reject it outright or manipulate events such that you are no longer in a position you would need to do so. I suppose resolution starts by being honest with yourself. If you’re going to utter falsehoods to the entire World at least hold on to the truth yourself. This is, “Fickle”, March 28, 2018.

Truest intentions, black results

A part of will’s eternal waltz

No matter that which we prefer

Our actions don’t always concur

Often we fool even ourselves

Lies penetrate down to our cells

No longer to know our own truth

Eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth.

It’s all the more fascinating when the subject doesn’t even seem to be aware that they’re even doing it. The levels of deception us humans are capable of, particularly within ourselves, is quite impressive.

Have yourselves a fine evening gentle peoples. Go frolic in the sunshine!
