the poetry of madness

compromises

Civilized life requires constant compromise.  Everyone hates compromise, as it usually means no one gets what they want.  The only solution is to reduce desire, but desire is frequently tied to motivation, so that the constant compromises wear down our morale.

Yet we cannot afford to allow our attitude to falter, not for long anyway.  Depression is a short road to the Styx.  Come sail away.

So compromise must compromise.  Ah, the truths get deep here.  Put on your wading attire.

I've been pondering Sisyphus lately, spending eternity pushing the rock up the hill until it rolls back down.   Circles.  Striving.   Success.

There is always a trick.  Everything is simple, once you know the tricks.  Everything but the doing.
