Bridge

I tossed, turned all night struggled to get things right not a singe straight line I wanted those to align ~to build a bridge of some kind~ two points which don’t entwine resources to build on a design zig-zag ideas it does ignite till I make two ends unite https://dversepoets.com/2021/04/27/poetics-build-a-bridge/

Rain

I think of Charlie Chaplin, as I walk through rain. He said he likes walking in the rain, as no one can see his tears. I know I’ll be busy and back to a normal routine after getting back home. Yet, these moments of solitude and raindrops bring so much to the surface - emotions … Continue reading Rain

A Beautiful Thought

Who invented the concept of corporate dress codes ? There is a rebel inside each of us, which was created in school. Being confined in uniforms obstructed our discovery of glamour. Breaking the rules earned us notoriety with the authorities, but also peer admiration.

I came across an article by Robert Anton Wilson, which says that the first 25 years of our lives are spent in being compelled to conform to societal norms. He says,

What is the opposite of megalomania?

Google gives me the following words.

Humility, servility, meekness, lowliness and 20 other similar words.

I look for the words ‘assertiveness’ and ‘confidence’ but fail to find those.

Is a balanced personality the mezzanine floor, somewhere between being arrogant and boastful, and being servile?

Mama Bear’s bed is too soft, and Papa Bear’s bed too hard, whereas Baby Bear needs something that is ‘just right?’

Yes, it is this ‘just right’ feeling that some of us fail to receive in childhood. Being pampered too much may boost self-worth for a short time, but lack of that support in the outside world causes teenagers to break down.
