Get Off of My Cloud

If you feel the need to pick me apart

Question my every move

My motive

My every word

Chastising me as you go

Then there is nothing further to say to you

Nothing that you seem to have understood

Conversely praise can cause the ego to inflate to proportions far too unwise

And is better left to simply instill compassion and acts of kindness

Epiphany

when I speak with like minded people

I do have moments of epiphany

Although at times not memorable ones

But when I talk to people who's views are juxtaposed to mine

I seem to learn not only about them

But about myself as well

This is why we should be able to

Without being uncivil

Or making/taking things personal

We should be able to discuss between each other

About ALL things

Is not discourse the greatest philosophical achievement possible
