A Christmas Idea

“For a long time we had the wrong product specifications when we thought of ourselves. We humans have been under the belief that we were endowed with a beautiful machine for thinking and understanding things. However, among the factory specifications for us is the lack of awareness of the true factory specifications (why complicate things?). The problem with thinking is that it causes you to develop illusions. And thinking may be such a waste of energy! Who needs it!" 


I didn't come to this conclusion on my own, illusion is a commodity necessary for creativity and can be enjoyable.  It's one of my toys and reality distractions.  When it develops a sense of its own then perceptions get fragmented.  What is real isn't so easy to realize, it is no longer a fun loving friend and can be frightening.  

Because it is the holidays, believe it or not, most of us choose children's banter, dreams and good memories.  A season filled with fond delights and things to eat, people to love, and those we greet.

A merry Christmas

A public cry for absolution fills the air, Thus man in consolation begs forgiveness fair.   Picture source  unknown   Poetry blogger (all poetry and art work not credited is possession of this blogger)
