It is not just virtues that are relative*….
From the first of June, 2018, I started writing Good Morning messages in the form of poems (Please read: ‘Good Morning Message #1‘).
The last such message was: ‘Good Morning Message #148‘.
Good morning Friends,
Distances, like all virtues on earth, are relative,
Though these can be measured exactly in length;
A couple’s state of mind can tell us how sensitive,
Each is to their relationship’s weakness or strength.
A truly loving couple thinks nothing of them:
“We are looking at the same stars and the moon.”
“There is no reason for us to be sad or glum”,
“Just wait, we shall be together again very soon.”
Distance actually makes their hearts go fonder,
They long, they miss, they love and cherish,
They are apart but their hearts don’t wander,
Separation for them is never really nightmarish.
Conversely you can be close and yet very far,
If there is nothing in common between you;
You can be well outside each other’s radar,
Even if physically closer than you ever knew.
Hence the very concept of far and near,
Depends upon whether you love or hate;
If you love even far would closer appear,
If you hate your closeness can frustrate.
This is one example of how even absolutes,
Appear differently with different attitudes;
It is not as if they suddenly changed attributes,
It is a pointer towards controlling our moods.
….even absolutes can appear relative!
P.S. Please read ‘Absolute Virtue‘.
