One Thing Leads From Another

By AdrianJ

No one "slides" off the wagon...They are pushed, dragged, drawn by the pull of the great magnet

There are many paths to the same destination - none of which lack small success, larger failure and fraught with consternation

But one universal thing is true:

Destiny must have its due

One idea in a million? Comes to nothing...

Premature enlightenment - hyperbolic bluffing...

As reality folds and remakes itself each instant -
as soon as you "know", you've already missed it.

Environment is given the same temptation - some open their eyes, others lack motivation and become slaves to the path of least perceived suffering.

In each moment we choose, our own losses our own gains.

Values are what in end 'value' the most. It may not seem like it, but it's true.

And I don't mean those silly values from some "Holy Ghost" either - out there floating in the addled minds of those long-insane gatekeepers.

That bitter pill of thought, do you remember when you became one of us?
Where one world movez and other goes still?

You're not "discovering" it, "uncovering" it.
Infiltration from the "manufactured" purposes
as obstacles to keep you on the surface.

The path to understanding is not straightforward, it's 3 steps back, 4 steps forward....

    great stuff... loved the "perceived suffering" and "insane gatekeepers" lines... overall, the rhythm was enticing.

    "others lack motivation and become slaves to the path of least perceived suffering" - "The path to understanding is not straightforward, it's 3 steps back, 4 steps forward...." - utters truth in every verse and echoes the human condition - well done, as always *Bows* ~Downstream~
