The quest for specialness
Leads nowhere
Learn to settle for less
Investing in the personal self
Is like building houses on the sand
Passing the time
Before the next wave comes
Integration is the primary fear
Which all constructs of identity
Are the means to avoid
Being special
Is no defense against entropy
The mother prevails in her despair
The father withdraws to his shell
The child turns inward
In impotent revolt
And the wound
The ancient wound
Silently bleeds
Leads nowhere
Learn to settle for less
Investing in the personal self
Is like building houses on the sand
Passing the time
Before the next wave comes
Integration is the primary fear
Which all constructs of identity
Are the means to avoid
Being special
Is no defense against entropy
The mother prevails in her despair
The father withdraws to his shell
The child turns inward
In impotent revolt
And the wound
The ancient wound
Silently bleeds

beautiful, fellow astral retards
well put, Aeolus. I particularly resonate with the last paragraph.
Entropy, as in the Second Law of Thermodynamics, is only a factor in closed systems…
I agree that the quest for special-ness leads nowhere, but disagree that investing in the personal self is a pointless endeavor. The enrichment of the personal self is essential towards forging the subtle changes to the energetic self, to which the personal self is but manure. The problem is with using personal enrichment as a means towards special-ness, ie, feeling that one is in some way 'better' than another.
