Array ( [sid] => 105117 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Joy and Sadness [time] => 2005-09-05 19:57:01 [hometext] => [bodytext] => Joy rather than Contrition
Get away with it
Readiness for rationalization
Is not a human trait

In terrific glorification
Immaculate in its articulate addiction
The pressures which came to be
Was born from torment that would one day set him free

Joy is the equivalent of virtue
Sadness is the same as sin
Readiness for the protest
Which gathers in the rich mans den

Following you around
I have lost track
Across the span of the bridge
The wedge that kept it in intact
In spectacular condition
Pristine with ambition
Joy is given
Sadness is ridden

*****Readiness for rationalization
Is not a human trait

Humans can rationalize anything...only humans rationalize, animals have instinct and learned behavior.

Humans have learned behavior also, but can rationalize.

Example:

Rationalize:

Working with people you detest, loathe, because you rationalize you need the money for that job.

An animal only cooperates out of fear when trapped, otherwise the animal will escape, leave.

Humans don't always leave..

Rationalization. Human needs.. they do what they do, in order to make some sort of sense... through rationalization.

Albeit I can see where you are going with this write.

Good job...
