be the motivator, not indicator

today we met this really queer man.
which made him interestingly...deep.
inspiring poetry indeed.
he asked us each to give him a question.
and so i asked
"is deception necessary?"

and there he sat, scribbling.


Deception
when you live,
even if you're the most powerful,
you can be destroyed.
by others,
by your own mistakes.

when you want to survive,
not only you need to tally forces from others.
you need to protect yourself from them.
you may even deceive others to become your prey.
this is necessary for survival but this is also the window to those you discern.

we as living cannot base on a perfect world.
we have to discern to protect.
to sharpen, to survive.
and it may sound like darkness.
it is in this darkness that you discern light and cherish so.
