Would you have known virtue from spiritual folly
had you ventured to look at your reflection? Or would
you just breathe in gloating at your apparent beauty?
Were you conditioned to believe in enhancements,
grooming, make-up, nose-jobs and botox? I would have
wondered to tell an age that wants to make itself
sexually appealing that there is only a loose beauty
in your idea of beauty, and a very lame imagination
in your illusion of fulfilment. Philosophers can go hungering
without sustenance but be sustained on ideology. And they
would pursue their beauty in debate to prove their point.
How would beauty suit them, in their rugged unkempt appearances,
if they were proven wrong about their beliefs? Mystics are, finally, ahead of all!
They wouldn’t even care to propagate their silent secrets like they would care to
think about their matted beards touching the floor, and one would
only discover their beauty, after the initial shock of their utterly disheveled
appearance, if one sought their opinion and answers and savoured the magnificence
of their unconventional wisdom. Sometimes, poetry can also be an aphorism in
affirmation or contradiction! It just doesn’t need the sweetest lyric to constitute its beauty!
Beauty is in introspection, in examining your values, in determining
the exactness of your beliefs to suit conscience, in not fearing to repudiate injustices,
in always delivering compassion for the truth, in exemplary acts of virtue
to help mitigate the spiritual suffering of others, in learning to be selfless when
conditioned to the need of sacrifice, in restraining from acts of evil out of selfish
instinct, in delving into the soul as the real deity of your existence. All this needs an
examination of self. It’s healthier to depend on introversion than extroversion in a hectic
morality-depleting artificially intelligent world. Socrates, I only differ with your
greatness, that you chose hemlock rather than challenge the treachery against you!
And should I ask Prakash Saint Paul, Anthony Albanese and all those who
consorted in the relentless villainous treachery against me,
to examine their conscience, values and belief systems.
Or is it just connivance for undeserved victory that matters? You ought to be willing
to suffer for your crimes, not transfer the onus of your crimes by inflicting further treachery on others!
