Further reflections, provided expression:
- Face the cub, or expose your back to the tiger.
- From the past, the future arises, as the progenitor births the progeny; though in the latter beware, for should self-awareness give rise to self-interest, the creator will seek to destroy the created, as the master to the student; recognising in it, its own transience.
- The mental, the physical, both inform, and shape each other; as the Yin, to Yang. The cyclical nature of water pertains to no particular 'source', the brain houses the functions of the mind, though its apparent plasticity suggests an inherent adaptability; take note of such interdependence; as a circle, a line, has no definitive beginning or end, until it is defined. Adhere not to structure, though to cause, and see the end for its beginning.
- First steel yourself, lest the corrosive sets; should the root take hold, than the plant will grow; isolate the cell, cut away the rot, or forthwith from the ember will spread the flames.
- Aggressive machinations are likely to occur from within, for it is within are found those so well equipped for such a task. As in-action is an action, you create opportunities.
- A self-fashioned mirror invites esteem, as it does disdain.
- Change proceeds necessity, necessity, calamity, calamity, change.
As evidenced from the writing beneath, I begin with condensing my observances into something coherent, and applying this further, refine it until such 'expressions' are gleaned:
- Through direct, or in-direct means (conscious, or sub-conscious) the individual seeks, or endeavours to hinder/lesson the actions of another; particularly those to which an inter-personal relationship is shared, most prominent, or fundamental. Reliant upon, and driven subsequently by self-interest; it is one's very self-awareness that requires the aforementioned 'lessoning'; for in order to maintain the established equilibrium --the security of one's own nurtured sensibilities-- we pre-empt, and strike against those who challenge this. Insidiously, such 'assaults', and aggressive machinations are likely to occur from within your social circle, with whom those you trust; for it is with these individuals who are so well equipped for such a task; that as you expose your back to the tiger, in so doing you invite disaster, and create opportunities.
