Left Untouched

Not talking is tearing me apart
your friendship held such a special part of my heart
Everything was going alright
that was until the other night
Maybe it never should have be spoken of
Just left in the dark as a hidden love
Being more than friends could make this end
A helping hand you will not lend
Your feelings are so unclear to me
Others have said but i will let it be
All i want is to hear it from you
Set me straight and tell me true

Defining Art

  • Art does not have a universal definition, though it is generally believed that it is an intentional and conscious creation of something that requires imagination and skill.

  • It can be thought of as a symbol of what it means to be human, manifested in physical form for others to see and interpret.

  • The word ‘art’ originates from the Latin word ‘ars’ that means skill or craft.

  • Art, like beauty, is subjective, and its valuation and definition changes as time goes by.

  • To understand art one has to see it’s essential nature and the social impact or importance it generates.

Constructing One's Reality

Aldous Huxley was heavily criticized after his death by newer philosophers who didn't subscribe to the Perennial Philosophy.


While the author insisted that the ultimate mystical experience is the moment of pure oneness with God where the concepts of 'I', language, image and culture are dissolved, his critics argued that all religions are true and some of them are truer than the others.


One of the critics states that human beings construct reality using their bodies, rituals, words, actions and cultures.

Just Say Goodbye

I can feel it slipping away-
the love we once shared.
Maybe it was just a dream
or an illusion to make myself
       happy
Maybe you really hate me-
maybe you were just being polite.
So much crap-
       no more
       all gone
Intense emotion faded....
into the abyss.
Soul mates,
       gone.
All eyes on me-never end
   walking
     slowly
       away.

Decline of mental health

A side effect of trying to help (personally, for me) was a panicky feeling, sleeplessness and even headaches at the stress of finding leads, seeing the quantity of requests for help, worrying about everyone that requested and so on. My heart was broken to realize that if I— a third person observer felt this way, what tension the patients and families of the infected were suffering through.

“Wicked” products range from the functional to the positively ridiculous, but they seem to be absolutely everywhere. Our critic explains why the merchandising actually makes a kind of sense. https://t.co/9eUo4wA3SZ

Old Age Despair

OLD AGE DESPAIR

What good the golden hoard, the noble fame
Of heroes or the praise of younger Man?
The hand of Death makes Man but a mere name
And none may linger longer than the span
Of years which fickle Fate allots.

We start to die when we begin to live.
The ages pass and we and all our kin
Are dead and those who died can only give
Scant recompense for all we did. Oh! What a sin
To live at all. Our whole life rots!

Is there a God who looks upon our toil?
Does He not watch our progress and approve
Our every act? Are we but soil
That lie beneath this Earth never to move?
Man dies when he is dead and ties the knots
Around him in the silent graveyard plots.

                                                                              Hugh L.M.Wyles 2003

Don’t inflate what needs no inflating

Clutter doesn’t make your writing stylish; in fact, trying too hard makes your writing seem fake.


Just write naturally and clearly; don’t try too hard with fancy words or complicated sentences that are just confusing.
