Scary reaction leading to self-blame

They cannot bear to hear the truth about themselves. When they hear it, they can only do one of two things. Yell at you, or lock themselves in a room and cry. Both scare me. What should I do? Not telling the truth makes me suffer. Telling the truth makes me suffer. Do you see another side to the coin? Looks like this is a biased coin, just like unfair life. What would you do? Suffer or suffer?

Spikes in my heart rate

They helped me suffer, they helped me lose. I resent them, I despise them. They caused me to confuse reason with emotion, good and bad with right and wrong. They tread upon me. And before I realize it, they helped me grow up and be strong. Maybe a little too much I grew up. Maybe a little too strong I am. I have aged, but the body hasn't. Am I in the wrong place in this world? Maybe a tad too early in life I quit looking forward to the beautiful reality. Or am I afraid to take drastic steps, having been trained always to take the safe course?

I read somewhere that life is a series of rough drafts being torn one by one. When will the document be complete? Or are we not supposed to finish? Haaaa! Save me, O life!

Engineless car

The car was on a dirt road. Something yanked the engine out of the car and pushed it on to the highway. Now it's just a metal shell. It can only go so far as the push can take it.

This illustrates what happens to a person when he/she loses their drive - the soul.

Anti-realism

The question is not who, the question is when. The answer is "not now".

The meat on the bone

Together, they make the body. The meat cannot stand without the bone, and the bone need not exist without the meat. Everybody wants the meat, but nobody wants the bone. Bones are piling up around you and meat is accumulating inside you. Look around you! Soon, the bones will fall upon you and crush you!

Dead fish in the river

It goes wherever the river goes. It has no will of its own, no direction of its own. It will rise with the water, and fall with the water. It loses slight parts of itself on the way, but the other living fish don't care. They have their own wills and directions. Ends up eventually in the sea, it will. And now, it's lost in oblivion, and its body decays. It becomes nothing, which makes up everything.

Secrets and lies

They grow old and they grow wise. They tell you what you want to hear. They forget what they want to say. When they say what they want to say, you explode! They had been hurt by small explosions in the past. They won't be comfortable near a huge one. So, they forget what they want to say.

So clever!

You say they should grow up, and yet they won't. You say they are pigs, and yes, pigs will be pigs. They will never turn into horses. If the pigs give you what you want, why do you want them not to be pigs?

You know what they want and yet, you cannot give them what they want. You want it too, but you don't want to say it. You are lucky to have the opportunity to get morally outraged when they ask, but when you say what you want, they simply get bored. How unfortunate it is, that they get to be just bored but you get to be so outraged?

They are so desperate and stupid, and yet you cannot keep them happy. So clever!

The coin's other side

They say without meaning, and they mean what?

They show you they are worried and you tell them not to worry, but they solve their problems without your help. What do you get? Their worries. You are now miserable, and you feel cheated forever by their race.

Slice the coin, but each slice will still have two sides. What should you do?

Don't touch it!

There it was. I touched it and it gave me pleasure. I pulled it closer and it broke. What was its purpose? Why was it there? I should have just ignored it. It would have at least existed.

Say it and lose it

I want to learn how to act. But if I act, how will you know what I am trying to tell you?

You ask me what you want from me. You ask me what you can do for me. But if I tell you, the purpose is lost. You will do whatever I ask you to do. That is not what I want you to do.

The moment I tell you, it loses its significance. The second you ask and I answer, it's importance vanishes.

Squeezed

Everybody needs me, but nobody wants me.
I gave you everything, but I received nothing.

Don't keep polishing the nails, for they are dead and they have no inner beauty.
Bananas are yellow and coconuts are brown, but they are both white inside.
