Little Ducky’s

The human psyche is heavily burdened by the fight or flight mechanism. This is why we have been able to survive as long as we have.

For example, if a wolf comes too close and it has not killed a human then it may not be harmed, or less likely to be harmed. As we see in breeds of wolf decedents in our domesticated canine breeds.

Ducks pose little or no threat, yield eggs, and rapidly repopulate for human consumption. This would not cause any social chaos, in turn, no fear.

The origin of bathtub duck likely originates from people bathing in lakes and rivers where ducks are a common sighting.

Then humans developed mass production/distribution of the rubber ducky. Viola, you have the commonality of toy ducky across the world.

Why would you do that?

That cat is sly and sure-footed.

Never seeing a miss.

Then it jumps and smacks a mug off the table.

Little cattywampus from my perspective.

Some life advice.

Tomorrow only comes for those who live today, don't sit back and accept your fate.

Life with purpose, make the best of it.

Find someone you love and be someone they admire.

If you see a hero in your heart, follow that, become like that.

Accomplish for the right reasons. Do your work for the right reasons.

Forgive your parents, love your children, and let your children forgive you.

Take the time to walk. Take the time to be silent. Be silent.

Learn everything you can about this world and do something with your knowledge.

Help when able. Help life.

Loss

An absence without abandon

Outside of comfort

A feeling of sickness

Flowing down tears

Never-ending tears

Self Evident Truths
Is there such a thing as self evident truth? What are some examples of self evident truths? While you're at it, can the essence of truth be contained in words or are words intrinsically inadequate to describe truth? and, can there be 'truths' or is there only 'the truth'? What truth is there in truths? Can you hold truths? Go about answering this (truly poorly phrased) inquiry any way you see fit. Fiction or non-fiction (which of those is truer by the way?) poetry or prose (truly it matters not) concurrence or descent, ignorance or bliss, truth or dare... Have at it!!!

Choice, Truth, and Coffee

Choice

There is great power in any action taken or not taken.

This speaks on choice; the choice is self-evident. In all manners of the word, humans have a choice to which we can train. We utilize the power of choice in every manner in which we exist in the world together. From the moment we arose from our slumber to the moment that exists right now a choice is constantly being made. This we should not ignore, and the choice that is made should be worthy of the effort's input. Then to reflect upon the efforts, or the dissent of the efforts should be made to understand what better choice can be made in the future. When that future choice may arise, know what is best to create a foundation for the future.

Truth

There is great understanding in observing the spectrum of truth.

Truth is not subjective, it exists, although often confusing the truth can change to a lie and a lie into a truth. As in many realities in life we live in an observable spectrum, and the point on the spectrum should often be balanced by supporting arguments.

Coffee

Once in a time, there was no coffee, our thirst was for water. Then one day a bean was found then chewed upon which created vitality, and an offering of stimulation when needed. Then it fell into the line, that coffee is defined.

Challenge of the Month XXXI
Write a story about astral projecting into the room of your sleeping enemy. A psychopath crawls through the window and is skulking toward the bed. You have the ability to stop the violence, should you choose, by scaring the shit out of the perp, or you decide to simply observe and taste the sweet wine of revenge. But, you know it comes with a cost: Your conscience. Does this person really deserve death, or close, or will your intervention put you at peace with the past?

I have signed my name on the line, tonight I must take the life of our society's leading member. Four other members signed below to recognize this sacrifice and recognize that one day the same duty of action upon me will fall.

We sit in a circle chanting the celestial psychopath chant, deep rough, and loud humming jolts me into where my target slumbers.

Quick and fast a smirk rises in me, tonight my soul murders.

Irven Ras, lay in bed, chest slowing rising and falling. He was not an evil leader, or by any means a cruel man. Yet, to hold the position which he held until this night, he was a killer, and tonight I take his place. This is our order, as reach deep into his chest to stop a powerful heart. This path towards a brighter future is sown with my own.

I must not need to be forgiven. He signed the dotted line too.

Ras awoke and stared back at me.

"There was us, and now there is just you"

The brightness rose from his body, and he met me in the darkness. Ras looked at me for only a moment and filtered away into a million particles of light.

My return was a deep quake of energy. My mind felt like an atom had split, and my body shook without control for the remainder of the evening. I awoke to the celebrations and vision of many who have risen before me. Today is all that is promised, I signed the dotted line.
