I will not say: do not weep; for not all tears are an evil. - R

Tears, something which every human at least once in their lifetime produces. Whether it be for joyous reasons, celebrations, accomplishments, for morbid reasons, loss, tragedy, death, maybe even coming to a realisation! 

A realisation he says? A realisation that you are not in control of your body the way you think you are!

a human experiences phenomenons many times in their lifespan, whether long or short, most of which are disregarded as the modern day human is desensitised by almost everything, a pity. 

Tears, why are they so significant you ask? You must wonder, why do such small parts of a human mean so much? That is because humans are not in control of them!

Humans intrinsically seek control, whether conscious of it or not. A person that tells you they do not seek control in a matter is either one of two things, unaware of their nature and persona, or even worse, afraid, afraid for what they are or what they may become. 

As mentioned, tears are usually in response to something, the body knows how much to produce and when to release the signals to one's brain, but do you believe that this is a physical act? Or truly do you know deep down, that it is actually all in your mind, even the thought of existence?

The emotions we feel prior to the tears falling, triggered by something we see, smell, touch feel, the chemicals combining to then produce the outcome, tears. 

Even the strongest of humans, the bravest, the proudest, the most honourabl;e, their minds, if one step is taken in the wrong direction, are enough to bring them down, surely their physical bodies can withstand this, but to be mentally damaged and exhausted to a point of no return? THAT is something no human can escape, it is inevitable. 

I do not say, do not weep, for not all tears are evil, but what of the pre-requisites present to form and bring forth these tears? Surely they ARE evil no?

Of course, tears of joy exist, but statistically, factually and through experience the majority of tears exist due to evil pre conditions! 

Sorrow; we wallow in sorrow, sadness and despair, long after the events which caused them cease to exist.Why is that? 

Humans are inclined and naturally lean towards focusing on that which brings them discomfort, unease and sorrow, not by choice, oh not by choice at all, rather, the impact and scar left on their psyche is superior enough to cage the good, the positive the blessed parts of them, caged being a very vague term.

Most unaware that there lurks good within, but in fact it is caged, the bad is their true face, as the good cannot escape, bringing forward the tears, the tears are a way the body is sending a call for help, but the inhabitant cannot and will not realise.

With all this,we know now what it translates to, that true GOOD does not exist, only sadness sorrow and despair, through that people become selfish, inconsiderate, and worst of all, destroy those who had a glimmer of light left in them, intentional or not, this is what the result of sorrow, sadness and despair is, a never ending cycle that will continue until people take accountability for their own demons.

To enter, impact it, and leave when it is convenient for them. no, for this is damaging to the soul more than it is beneficial.

The soul can get attached, adapt, adjust, to the feeling, that feeling, as beautiful and intoxicating as it may be ar first, is the first sign of danger

Do you feel happier than usual? Do you feel glorious? Over the moon? On top of the world? Well that's because it's a false sense of contentment, humans are selfish and no matter what they'll always put their own needs before yours.

Intrinsically it is innate, that humans who enter your life by THEIR choice will only but give you false hope, only to tear you to pieces, leaving nothing but an empty morsel

I do not say, do not trust, I say, trust, but trust carefuly and be wary, not all wish to see you bloom into the flower that awaits the other side.

Rather, they wish to consume your life force and leave as you are on the brink of depletion, and truly saddening, that they'll do so knowing its happened before.

Welcome. welcome to the critical analysis of the reflection of the inner workings of the place where most can get in, but cannot leave, oh the place where we have constant conflict, but in the blink of an eye. The mind.

I won’t bore you with the details, who I am, what I do, where I am. Etc.

Rather, I'll say this, a former programming/computer scientist prodigy turned into a creative writer/ poet. 

All due to the recommendations of the people who had the luxury of knowing me and getting a taste of my mind and the articulation of what’s in it.

Now I won’t write poetry that’s full of random words and jargon that serves one purpose, which is to come across as aesthetically pleasing to the ear, no. Rather, it’ll be more of a realist approach, you might get triggered, heartbroken, upset, maybe even go insane, but one things for sure. You’ll learn to read in between the lines and come to the realisation that YOU hold a key that is unique, that doesn’t exist anywhere else in this cosmos, a key that's coded to be one of a kind.

This key, what purpose does it serve? Well, if you stick around long enough, you might just find out.

Back to me, what makes me, ME? Well, what was aforementioned, I choose my own path, I choose what I feel when I feel where I feel it, not in an arrogant way, but in a liberating way. (I am not a liberal) The only thing holding me back? Well, you can say its the flawed human attributes, (attachment, trust, benefit of the doubt, being ‘nice’)

Kindness

What is it?

It can be as simple or as complicated as you see fit. Lets break it down further, then you’ll realise that it isn’t as straightforward as it may seem..

Are humans inherently kind? Is kindness empirical or innate? To further understand, we must know what kindness is; kindness is the simple act of doing something ‘nice’ or ‘good’ for someone or something else. Now here’s where we land into the first bit of investigation. Say we humans are the most advanced species that exist on this earth, what's to say other species can’t display kindness? 

Let me explain. take dust for example, dust is a micro-organism, so small that we humans at times are unable to see it, you could even say its so insignificant that it could be erased from the human species concern and we would carry on as normal right? Wrong.

You see, beyond dust there are more micro organisms that also have a significant/insignificant superior and inferior being that walks among them.

They are along with many others, the building blocks of what a human needs, but what a human needs, is dictated by another human, but that's a conversation for another day.

Are you still with me? Now lets assume the cycle is never ending, you can speculate until pigs fly, micro-organisms, those smaller than those etc.

Where does kindness fit into this? Surely he’s lost his mind and he’s just speaking about a bunch of different things to sound cool, no?

The key thing to notice and focus on here is, kindness, does it exist? Does it actually take place, is it in the hearts, heads and souls of humans? Or is it something that we have perceived as a ‘good’ trait, but in reality it was something that doesn’t actually exist?

On a basic level, kindness is subjective and what’s kind to me, could be unkind to someone else. The aspect of kindness within a human is not innate, it is empirical, a human LEARNS what kindness is through the atmospheric experience, environmental factors, influence from other humans and experiences, but it doesn’t stop there.

KINDNESS is actually a selfish trait of every human, it’s used to further fuel the selfish gain of any and every individual human that exists, as this species has proved time and time again that it can never do something for the sake of it. Rather, there will ALWAYS be a ulterior motive associated with this act of ‘kindness’ 

Hence why I mentioned other species. You see they don't have the advanced capabilities humans do, BUT, and this is a crucial BUT. THAT is what sets them miles apart from humans, the terrible species. They do what they do, whether its for their own species, or humans etc, out of the kindness in their heart, because they DON’T have an ulterior motive because they're not intelligent enough to have one. 

Sometimes, a lack of intelligence is a good thing. Kindness and its definition does not exist within the human species, but it can exist in others. Empirical or innate. 

They are not a test nor a lesson. Rather, they are a blessing in disgusie.

Even after a while, when they become nothing but a distant memory, you still smile, realising that they're partially or maybe fully the reason why you didn't give up at that exact moment.

That's why they're a blessing, they didn't stick around, maybe because they couldn't, or there were other factors.

But even then, they left that mark on your heart that you didn't know you needed. That mark even after years won't fade.
