Plates...

Too many spinning plates always leads to disaster.
We only have so much time and energy...And you can't do it all...And yes, gravity always wins in the end. The minute you lose focus something falls...And yes again, you need more hands but you only have two. Only spin what truly needs to be spun lest you lose control...And so what is it that truly needs to be spun?
So in such a complex changing world spinning less maybe the
very best deal.  

Jealousy a dangerous cup of tea

Jealousy a dangerous cup of tea...

  If jealousy is your only cup of tea...Then it is that you alone are the cause of your very own self-destruction...You are the seed who taints its' very self. You set yourself beyond the help of your brothers...A useless and wretched path indeed....Is it not truly a form of admiration gone sour?
You say to your subconscious self-... Why don't I have this or that?  Then you proceed to pout?

So then in an act revenge you shall make the world unhappy with you?...because surely you shall not bear this perceived unhappy weight alone. There is no need to be your own worst enemy...
Life is much too short for that...
