Running with the wind while against the current,
winning although godspeed comes in last
can cause reality to reach false conclusions.
Too often such splendidly dishonest assumptions
are merely thorns in the side of reality.
Not remembering is not the same as forgetting,
forgetting is the curse of intelligence.
Intelligence often only hampers recollection,
recollection consolidates memories,
memories all too often are best forgotten.
Lives of our friends can contradict our longevity,
longevity offers more chances for failure and pain.
Failure and pain sometimes can overpower us,
being overpowered can thwart recovery,
recovery often requires not remembering.
