I could never think well of a man's intellectual or moral character, if he was habitually unfaithful to his appointments.

Those Who Habitually Lie
Those who habitually lie,
Will try their best to decieve others...
With performances to convince,
That the ones unafraid to speak the truth...
Pursue the doing of it,
To purposely mistreat them.
By a direct use of honesty.
As if someone intentionally slit their wrists to bleed.
Those who habitually lie...
Seem to have a compulsive need,
To disguise a hiding of their acceptance of truth.
And character assassinate the ones they please.
Much disrespect is done to the ones,
Habitual liars attempt to project their pretentions on.
With facades of sobs and a childish innocence,
To depict themselves as having only sincerity meant.
That is quick to surface to argue against,
Anyone who dares to put a dent...
In a carefully charaded integerity,
Masked by a defense when offended.
Those who habitually lie...
Seem to have a compulsive need,
To disguise a hiding of their acceptance of truth.
And character assassinate the ones they choose.

Leadership consists not in degrees of technique but in traits of character; it requires moral rather than athletic or intellectual effort, and it imposes on both leader and follower alike the burdens of self-restraint.

Tomorrow
I have
So many
Appointments
Tomorrow.
I feel so dead
Tired, being an
Exhausted wife.
What if I
Don't
Wake up
Tomorrow?
Tell my appointments
To meet me in next life ;)

In relation to a writer, most readers believe in the Double Standard: they may be unfaithful to him as often as they like, but he must never, never be unfaithful to them.

Obsessions
It happened in the middle of the night
When I thought I had control
Didnt want to be the one to fight
Didnt want to lose my soul
I was up for something more
Never thought Id get it started
Paralyzed, polarized
Hung on every word
Im in love with the child inside
I dont have a right to follow you
Or have a license to get closer
A love that wont be denied
For you are something like Ive never seen
Im a man whose heart is crying
Chorus
Just another one of my obsessions
You dont want to be a special toy
I never be the one to hurt you
Like every other girl and boy
Just another little indicretion
Another game that you want to try
You can never be unfaithful
If you gotta love somebody
Want to make your mountains high
Want to take your valley low
Theres a moral to my story
Let me in a close the door
Until the morning light
What Id give to live inside you
Make me wait, we separate
But only to return
Whisper and Ill be there
I dont want you begging me to stop
I just want to drown in your desire
Love is for those who dare
All the cream is rising to the top
And its the love you save from dying
Chorus
Just another one of my obsessions
Something I could never find
Its the kind of love that makes your heart
Feel obsessed with mine
Any battle for the one possession
Another game that you want to try
You can never be unfaithful
If you gotta love somebody
Just another one of my obsessions
You dont want to be a special toy
I never be the one to hurt you
Like every other girl and boy
Just another little indicretion
Another game that you want to try
You can never be unfaithful
If you gotta love somebody
Just another one of my obsessions
Something I could never find
Its the kind of love that makes your heart
Feel obsessed with mine
Any battle for the one possession
Another game that you want to try
You can never be unfaithful
If you gotta love somebody
Just another one of my obsessions
You dont want to be a special toy
I never be the one to hurt you
Like every other girl and boy
Just another little indicretion
Another game that you want to try
You can never be unfaithful
If you gotta love somebody

In our contemporary social and intellectual plight, it is nothing less than shocking to discover that those persons who claim to have discovered an absolute are usually the same people who also pretend to be superior to the rest. To find people in our day attempting to pass off to the world and recommending to others some nostrum of the absolute which they claim to have discovered is merely a sign of the loss of and the need for intellectual and moral certainty, felt by broad sections of the population who are unable to look life in the face.
