A "holy message"

(extracts from the honesty radical)

Cog 4

by Maxifern

Want to save the planet?

The people you love?

You are selfish, if you don't!

You are not good!

"can't be happy unless the entire world is"!

The re-birth of an 'em-path'

The manifesto of the real good person

the 'en-path'

I say no or yes when I want to. 

I don't need to perform 

good to prove I am good!

Self-sacrificing is a choice equally 

self-centered like any other!

I am not a believer or follower 

of any social, cultural, political, professional 

and religious narratives!

I may be invisible to many but

I see clearly into the things they serve...

They are visible to me , so I can navigate 

my "travels" in "space" away from 

the "black holes" of their subconscious naivete

or their conscious malicious designs:

- love bombing

- gas-lightning

- narcissism

- virtue signaling

- pseudo-intellectualism

- agendas

- fakeness

- hypocrisy

I am good! Because the power I have to 

see into things and people I won't use to 

manipulate or retaliate. I reserve any power 

I have to safeguard my peace and help when 

I can only those who ask and want my assistance.

In the path of life we walk alone, or side 

by side and sometimes we may fall behind.

We are not entitled to anything. 

We have the choice of intention or not to 

grow and evolve. Nobody owes us nothing!

Not even our parents!

True offer comes from the heart. 

It is not the outcome of sophisticated

mind calculations based on the right 

moral logistics you believe you have access to!

I think that's enough..

Have to speak to my "shadow" next.. 

It's been a while since the last time.. 

I think it's started creeping into  my writing..

The impath

by dpMorella

Is it in, as in within or inside? Is it in, as in not or the opposite of? 

Is it path, as in way, road? Or is it a remnant of Greek influence, 

path as in, happen to me? Let’s break it down, shall we?

First perplexing pair, inside the path. The path to what exactly? 

The path of good? Evil? To glory? To fulfilling your dreams? 

All but one sound alluring, reassuring even. 

You are where you need to be, you are good. 

But what about the one that got away? 

The one with the interpretation you don’t actually like(?). 

Or do you? Isn’t the path to evil another way to glory 

or fulfilling your dreams? Dismiss it. Or not.

Or maybe you are in the way. The way of yourself, 

the way of achieving what was set out to be achieved , 

or even in the way of others. A constant hurdle they have to 

deal with and leave behind.

Second pair, not in the path, quite the opposite in fact! 

You are so far off where you need to be, according to social 

constructions and morals. Would that be so wrong though? 

Isn’t the road not travelled the road to discovery? 

Venturing to where no one has gone before. The first, the only. 

A pioneer, a lonely pioneer, standing on your one.

Third pair, What happens within. The philosopher, the soul searcher. 

Analysing, grinding, doing the work. 

Does it have any impact though or is it just a self defence mechanism? 

A surgical almost robotic way of dealing with feelings, 

putting them under categories, labelling them, acknowledging them, 

but not actually feeling them. Being sensible, 

being good, others should recognise that, right?

Last treacherous pair. Not what happens within. 

Just the surface or even beyond that. 

Apathy, stone cold eyes observing, 

not being touched by anything or anyone. 

An audience for the performance of life. An audience of one. 

Confused? How could you not? Do any of those resonate? 

Do most? Do all, at one point or another? If the answer is yes 

then you are no empath or enpath. 

You mix and match, you pick and choose the pair you want as needed. 

Switching from good to evil, from deep to shallow, 

from facilitator to obstacle as you see fit, as circumstances demand, 

as you should, you’re only human after all..
