An Ethics Philosophy professor once asked me: What is a life worth living to you? I replied: A life worth living is possessing an intellectually curious mind that is supremely opposed to the notions of complacency and indifference.
Pretty ambitions
Gorgeous intentions
Shiny and new
Those who possess them
We are rare, we are few
***
Relentless, fierce, and a little eccentric
Frequently painted as esoteric
We strive to be flawless in all we do — despite the futility
Which others perceive as an act lacking in humility
***
The critics look down on us and judge our gorgeous intentions
Yet, their idle opinions never deter us from our pretty ambitions
Some choose to watch, to let others build their own creations
While the rare and the few, take action
***
Participants choose to be the masters of their own fate
They trust themselves enough — to think — to create
Spectators settle and wait for things to happen to them —
Almost blatantly
While Participants go out and happen to things —
Always tenaciously!
