We must not, however, be like the leaders of the great romantic revolt who, in their eagerness to get rid of the husk of convention, disregarded also the humane aspiration.

All companies of any size have to continue to push to make sure you get the right leaders, the right team, the right people to be fast acting, and fast moving in the marketplace. We've got great leaders, and we continue to attract and promote great new leaders.

The scrupulous and the just, the noble, humane, and devoted natures; the unselfish and the intelligent may begin a movement - but it passes away from them. They are not the leaders of a revolution. They are its victims.

I only went to one Star Trek convention and that was in the late '80s. I hadn't gone to a convention before that. It was quite amusing, with the people dressed up and all of that.

I knew that the Hague Convention prohibited the use of poison in war. I didn't know the details of the terms of the Convention, but I did know of that prohibition.
Poetry, even when apparently most fantastic, is always a revolt against artifice, a revolt, in a sense, against actuality.

Humane Great Political Leaders?
God said the master
to the slave is equal
politicians today need
to remember history
previous past generations
humane great leaders
who worked
not for themselves
who worked
for the good
of their nation
their people
who believed in
peace at home
peace in the world

A journey begins with first step! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
Oh great warriors
Of yore
Sages of folk lore,
Could you tell me
Why do I feel vanquished
In the face of victory?
Had no aspiration to build
Great empires,
Or enlighten
The ignorant.
Just a small aspiration
To be free
And protest against
Pressure of
Conformity…
On being released,
from captivity,
Stood dazed in front of
Open cage,
Like a bird
Who has forgotten the
Instinct to fly
Looked skyward:
Jonathan Livingston Seagull
Soaring high…
Jonathan Livingston Seagull by Richard Bach is a fable in novella form
about a seagull learning about life and flight.

Meaning Of Fidelity
Fidelity is filled with eagerness and passion,
Fidelity is deeper than any emotion,
Fidelity is full of trust and compassion,
And is filled with a keen devotion.
Fidelity is filled with eagerness and passion,
Fidelity is a state of faithfulness from the heart,
Fidelity is an adherence to a special cause
And its' sworn vows will never part.
Fidelity is filled with eagerness and passion,
Fidelity is an allegiance bound to stand,
Fidelity is part of a Nation's domain,
And is steadfast throughout the land.
Fidelity is filled with eagerness and passion,
Fidelity is full of piety and ultimate care,
Fidelity is filled with an intense sense of duty,
And is like soothing music in the air.

I am ANIMAL...by talile ali
For the longest time
I have aspired to
so many high minded
humane goals.
Unfortunately,
I have not attained any of them
for any real amount of
time
Why?
Its not from a lack of commitment,
I don't think.
It is more about
something else.
Some would say its lust,
desire, greed, envy, fear
But after so much time
and a great deal of contemplation
does it really matter
how i feel?
I have been lying to my self.
I have been conditioned to deny
the truth about
myself my
being.
I have been told
by so many
self-interested individuals
and have also read
in so many
great books and journals
about who and what we are
suppose to be
humane
beings.
All of them speak
of this fact that we are
not
animals.
This truth for me is
as I explored greatly
from so many
facets and intricacies
we
are not.
This is the truth for me
Why is it a constant
journey
and discovery
finding elements
supporting this thing we call
humane?
In finding any foundation
and sense of comfort
in all of these concepts
the truth is no
where
I have striven for a lifetime
and I have been found it so lacking
in these areas
But as an
animal,
All of my short coming would be
expectations
All of my achievements and cornerstones
Would be just
right.
My needs and wants and desires
would be where they need to be
My uncontrollable
lusts and desires
would be explainable
By all of my examples
The truth would be that
I am
ANIMALLLLLLLL

To revolt is a natural tendency of life. Even a worm turns against the foot that crushes it. In general, the vitality and relative dignity of an animal can be measured by the intensity of its instinct to revolt.

A Romantic Life Adventure!
Sentimental, emotional, great characters love romantic life;
Passionate, engaged and attached they like to live long life;
Fun, entertainment and amusements they have in romance;
Romantic love life these human beings live true to heart ever!
Longing for love they do all to get the hand of sweet heart;
Love, marriages and divorces and love again they try ever!
For the satisfaction of the self they do romance forever here
And live alone ever in life longing for love till the end comes.
Romantic fellows lament about the friends and loves lost in life;
Beginning, middle and end the means followed never the same
Because adventure is the spice and taste of romantic life here;
Many yet live romantic life because the pleasure is exotic ever!
A romantic life is the dream of many a guy and girl since long
Though success is rare failures they are ready to face and die!

So the result was that as one approached a political convention for most of the 19th century and for most of the 20th century until the 1960's, part of the drama was the fact that you didn't know ultimately who was going to be the nominee at the end of that convention week.

Fire and Ice! ! !
I got the inspiration for this poem from a quote called 'Fire and Ice.'
This world will eventually come to an end.
But will we get to choose how it does?
What would you choose?
Fire or Ice?
Fire would burn everything.
It would be a fast death.
It would wipe out the whole world.
But would it be more humane than Ice?
Ice would slowly kill every living thing; Human or Plant.
Ice would chill everything to the very centre of their core.
Ice would take a while to wipe out this civilisation.
But is this more humane than Fire?
Neither would be humane;
But what would you rather?
Fire or Ice?

Helen
As I walked towards helens house
I was thinking of her, her long pretty black hair
Her beatiful shiny eyes, and above
All, her humane personality which
Has endeered me to her the most
Her life is an epitome of all I wanted
I think of her the most
And she is my only aspiration
I am now here, right here with Helen
I want to ask her what she did to me
I am loosing my mind, I am thinking of her and I can think of nothing else
What has she done to me?
I used to be very ambitious.
Now all my aspirations are being
Replaced by helen
All I want now is Helen and Helen
There is nothing on my mind but Helen
I want her by my side for the rest of my life.
