perfection

more less perfect versions of perfection

everyone dies

still we strive

terminally flawed

still everyone tries

every day

every evening

to one degree or another

irrefutably alive 

one way or the other

terminally flawed

our own version of perfection

 

knowing the end

but still trying anyway

 

f*****g Christ,

Jesus was crazy

hmm. thought provoking. we all think we're doing it right. i have perfectionist tendencies which can be both a blessing and a curse. double-edged swords cut both ways. as my muse thoreau wrote long ago, ""Do not be too moral. You may cheat yourself out of much life. Aim above morality. Be not simply good; be good for something."

I would like to see Oscar Wilde and David Thoreau in a cage match to the death.

i don't think wilde had time for that - he was too busy pursuing "other interests" that got him arrested.

You mean, how he was banging dudes? What a terrible person. Send all them gays to the hard labor camp!! The f**k is wrong with you?

[Pete]

i just don't get it.

Well, Wilde was arrested for being gay... his "other interests" were having sex with men. He was sentenced to years of hard labor for it and died soon after he was released because of it... I don't think it's funny to make light of that situation. I 'm pretty sure you are aware of this and just masking your homophobia. You wouldn't have put it as "other interests" in that context if you didn't already know.
