“The more I learn, the more I know to seek. This
perpetuity would end if I refuse to learn and deny the need to seek. I dare
not think I know anything for certain, for if I knew anything with biased
assurance, I’d be blind” Kai
Napohaku
Thought Anyone who thinks, talks to them self in a way. Getting an idea, then making points for and against it might sound like an argument between you and yourself. This was funny when I first thought of it. I try not to embellish what I write about, and keep it all realistic as is feasible, which lead me to this idea and argument. If inquisitiveness asks why “I” wasn’t included, it’s because I am not alone by myself anymore. There is no “I”. Me: I am not a poet. Myself: What? Myself: I write poetry, how can you say that? Me: Poetry requires inspiration. Therefore, I am not a poet. Myself: You’re not making any sense. Me: I choose the words, I edit and I think the thoughts. But I cannot create an original topic. Myself: Hmmm… now you’re starting to make sense. Me: The things I write about write themselves. I just tell what I know about things. Me: So I am not a poet. Myself: Wait, but why doesn’t that make me a poet? Doesn’t that just mean all poets are like that? Me: Your not very bright are you? I don’t write anything original, but I also don’t copy any other person’s ideas. Therefore I am not a poet. Myself: Ok. You are giving us a headache. If your not a poet, then who is? Me: The one who created what I write about. Myself: (speechless) Me: (Taps foot) Myself: Oh… so God is the only poet? Me: Yeah, and I’m just a translator. (I look away from the mirror, and later come across my reflection in a glass window) Myself: You know “Me,” you make it sound like we are some kind of copies of our creator. Me: Yeah. Me: Like imperfect and often simpleminded children being taught by their patient Father. Pg. 1 © 2004 Kai Napohaku |
