A Miss?

By Mr King


In standing for love or truth...






Even if we don't hit the mark we were aiming for exactly...




















At least, we still hit a mark worth hitting!

    This is very nice and true. I like it

  • A former member wrote: I believe that love and truth walk hand in hand; Love is void if truth is absent, and vice versa. I think that love is truth, and truth is love; again they walk hand in hand.

  • A former member wrote: Because when faced with either, you KNOW what it is; nobody can persuade you otherwise.

    I don't think I could have said that better!

    yes... but take the idea that the "truth is love" too far and you may just end up in a mental hospital!

    yet in the beautiful multi-facted complexity of language then... the question still arises... what is love and what is truth?

    still somehow i think our best guess is good enough!

    yes... "faceted" I did intend... but "facted" has proven itself good enough... if not more so... in the end... thus illustrating my point... i think?!

    What is love and truth, and bask in definitions. A guess is nothing, worth little, one must experience love and truth and from there explanation is found far more difficult than if you had had previous no conception of either

    How can you stand for something you do not believe in, have no experience of? Is that not naive? A loveless man screaming love from a ballustrade is mad, a man in love screaming the same is sane...

    yes... i guess the wisdom of experience is the best way to know, but for now perhaps our best foot forward in that direction will have to do... thank you all... Love, Seth
