They say that some of mankind’s most prideful accomplishments in technology, through taxing calculations and abstract ideas, have in the end come to mirror those very things that have existed for thousands of years in nature. Pico and micro fibers of this and that on the smallest computer chips—likened most ironically to the oldest of our elders--crustaceans and insects. But when technology is a goal for the collective, the individual—who so often gets lost in the process for progression—has an entirely different goal in life... One that has a greater lasting impression and purpose, a greater permanence, than all else to be said at the time of one's death—

The AmBiGuiTies of IDENTITY.
Here I stand
On you, Aqua ocean
Under you, Azure sky
And inside of you, Cirulean Shirt, asking--
Screaming!
"Who DARE refer to you
SIMPLY & vaguely,
As just the color Blue?"
Black & White
Every wise man knows
To make time for both Work & Leisure.
But no more wise could be the wiser,
'Less first a fool exist.
'Wise' is an adjective. For it, or any adjective for that matter, to exist it relies solely and contingently on the existence of a contrast. For if all were wise, then all would be normal, and no man would ever be the wiser. Here, I play the fool because rather than understanding the wise man and his practices, I foolishly understood it to mean quite literally dress for work but be at a place of leisure. Perhaps a suit would have been more telling.
In any case, this contrast principal applies much to your eyes. Your vision is in constant reorientation in order to merely best process the images of light in front of you to, methodically, produce some sort of sense or image by stimulating AND inhibiting the reception of hundreds upon hundreds of stimuli..

A Brief Insight on the Macrocosm: Criticizing your Criticism.
I think the biggest tragedy of mankind is that it has condoned criticism and judgment toward others to the degree of emotional insecurity we face today...
People always worry about their appearance. People worry about making friends in new places. People worry if the whispers pertain to them. They worry did they do something wrong. Come across rude. Is work or school going to be uncomfortable this week...

The simple man got lucky (pun intended) with his line "You're one of a Kind".
"At bottom every man knows well enough that he is a unique being, only once on this earth; and by no extraordinary chance will such a marvelously picturesque piece of diversity in unity as he is, ever be put together a second time." -Friedrich Nietzsche

Revisiting Sin:Reimplementing Law
You know, I've always been an advocate of not doing things merely in principal of the fact they're ought to be done. Gut over Law, that's always been my moral compass. But recently I came across a chip of wisdom quite inadvertent-yet most fortuitous-ly.

A Break from Cynicism
"The average pencil is seven inches long, with just an half inch eraser--in case you thought optimism was dead." - Robert Brault
The Toilet Bowl.
Approaching the last week of my first semester in medical school, I've learned one valuable thing outside the scope of science and medicine. You can always sleep less, eat quicker, and shower faster; but nothing is as stress-free and relaxingly accompanied with a free conscience than playing king. When nature calls, solace can be found knowing you are intrinsically obliged to simply take the throne.
