HUMAN NATURE

My philosophy is to take men as they are, or let them be, And teach my soul to bear their frailty; These faults of which you so complain Are part of human nature, I maintain. Though some may disagree, I believe it’s necessary to be Polite and show equal measure When someone greets us with a show of pleasure. I will not scorn you with rage, But look deep inside for something to praise. This may cause me to be considered fake, But it’s better than causing hearts to ache.

Eliante,

 This picture of these wedding rings

 Is to show the happiness your love brings.

 Marriage to you is my heart’s most cherished goal,

 For which, I’d gladly give my life and soul.

 My heart is now filled with joy

 Where earlier there had been a void.

 Together, forever, I hope we shall live

 As I try to pay back all that you give;

 For I am in debt

 And will never forget

 When you saved me from an empty life

 The day you promised to become my wife.

Eliante,

My love for you has grown strong and deep

Forcing me to take this lover’s leap

Of hope, and test the waters

Of your love to see if it falters.

Though I know Alceste is your first love

I hope, with the help of heaven above,

That you could learn to love me, too.

I would back down if his favor turned to you,

But if he chooses to marry Celimene,

My feelings would still remain unchanged.

Then I’ll declare my enduring love and hope to see

Your gracious favor pass from him to me.

In short, should you be cheated of Alceste,

I’d be most happy to be second best.

Eliante my dear,

No words of mine were ever so sincere,

And I shall live in fretful expectation

Till I can make a fuller declaration.

O, Philinte, your words fill my heart

with soothing sounds i wish won’t part.

But, “Sir, i believe in frankness, and I’m inclined,

In matters of the heart, to speak my mind.”

Though your kind words flatter me to my core

You know my soul aches for Alceste ever more.

But if Celimene surrender’s to his lover’s plea,

I’d love to have your hand and must agree.

[philinte2012-blog]

I promise you, I don’t oppose

Your hopes in this affair; and heaven knows

That in my conversations with the man

I plead your cause as often as I can.

I would not object to your marriage with Alceste

And I would gladly wish you all the best.

But still my offer rings loud and true

That I will always desire to marry you.

I hate all mankind, every single person. No one can be trusted and no one understands. People make assumptions about eachother behind their backs and start false rumors. I on the other hand would rather tell it how it is and not try to sneak around with gossip. Although “mankind is no friend of...

You love the truth, so let me be frank:

You’ve earned the reputation of a crank;

And that you’re thought ridiculous when you rage

And rant against the manners of the age

The world won’t change, whatever you say or do;

So with your best interest in mind, I hope that you

Will learn to accept this quality of life

Instead of denouncing it with bitter strife.

Please give up on your poor plan

To leave behind the world of man

And vanish with your dear Celimene

Into a place without social strain.

Best Friends? Not Sure

Philinte, I don’t agree with you when you said,”I take men as they are, or let them be, and teach my soul to bear their frailty.” How are people supposed to know the truth when you constantly tell them whatever they want to hear? When you do this you are lying to them and letting them believe something that isn’t true. I know we are best friends, but I’m not sure if I can deal with how fake you are for much longer. You are the type of person that makes me despise this society so much.

You consider me a fake,

But when Oronte asks for your take

On his sonnet, you beat around the bush

As you gently try to push

Him into forgetting his matter of mind

Because your comments were far too unkind;

Until finally you have released

The uncontrollable beast

That had been caged inside

And distributes remarks to hurt people’s pride.

I hope you finally see that sincerity in excess

Can get you into a very pretty mess.

Read this article and I hope you will find

A way to end your court troubles and change your frame of mind.

In this article, Mark Wahlberg apologizes for his rude remark

Regarding the 9/11 attack so close to heart.

He regrets his bold and irresponsible notion

Of being able to stop the terrorist attack from motion.

Wahlberg needed to apologize for his audacious statement

Because harsh comments end in people’s resentment.

It’s my belief that in certain cases it would be uncouth

And most absurd to speak the naked truth;

With all respect for your exalted notions,

It’s often best to veil one’s true emotions.

Though to you, it may seem surreal,

Your open speech has become your Achilles’ heel.

If only you would apologize and start anew

By containing your harsh judgment and critical view;

Then, it’s possible, for those around you to not be put down

And people won’t leave your presence wearing a frown!
