Ode Of The Enlightened Apartment Dweller
"Don't live up too high,
nor too far below,
try and stay somewhere in the middle...
if at all possible...and if you can locate it."

A mystical hero can only be shamed and insulted by one source
and you know who that is....

A man who'd studied all the world's major theologies finally put to himself:
“They picture the gods and heaven to be above man, and the demons of hell beneath him should not that alone give rise to suspicions about the conceptual limitations of man's earthbound mind?”

And theory that doesn't take every possibility into consideration shouldn't even qualify for minimal acceptance as a theory. "But hold on there," interrupts one man, "if you were to take into account every possibility imaginable, you would not have a legitimate theory -- you'd simply have a...a...well, I'm not sure what to call it, but it'd fer damn sure be a mess!"

One man blamed the pain
for the ache of his over-stuffed stomach.

One day the young prince asked the Royal Thinker, "If an awakened warrior cannot be killed,
and will not commit suicide, then what can be done with him?"
And the counselor replied, "He may be eventually prompted to search for that place within himself that is the individual outlet for the collective energy that is life -- a knowledge of which would put him beyond the two deadly possibilities noted in your question."

One man blamed the thing that talked
not knowing where else to look.
Only those men are interested in discussing things who
have no real desire to know what's going on.

Life admitted to one guy:
"Yeah, I may sometimes kick men around, but at least I'm fair about it."
And the guy had no idea what life was talking about.

One man blamed the thing that said "ouch"
never seeking the source of the pain.

Everyone blames the end-of-the-line.
Hey! It's the obvious thing to do.
