Human Nature

Human Nature

A Poem by Aethereal
"

A hint about what human nature is all about.

"
Human Nature
 
Pains and pleasures
are the measures
of the many things we do.
 
Strong emotions,
hot devotions
are the treasures we pursue.

What we treasures and love the most in life is what we are going to pursue the most. We are goal oriented, success oriented and are motivated by what drives us ...

This is a very philosophical piece...Such wealth of lessons and passions in life..

some would argue we also over-pursue the measure...that is, what drives us and why do we do what we do? for us? for others? those who are more true to themselves and ignore the measure are often viewed as self serving...but often, in pursuing, what is found is so much more than the measure....I'm babbling. I liked this. Succinct and true.

Concise but speaks volume...this piece sounds like two quotes. It's true that we measure all things we do if SUCCESSFUL or FAILED based on what we feel with them. If we are happy, then we succeed...if sad, we failed. Then we continue with the one that we really wanted (with hot devotions).

Thank you for sharing your gem here, Aethereal.
