Wishful thinking

It’s such a blatant paradox
That as a child we just can’t wait to grow up
And as an adult we long to be a child again,
But never to learn to revel in the present moment.

Profile of a 'Yes-Man'

Part 1
I resign my soul,
My identity and my wings of freedom
Only to be sucked into a sugar-coated flytrap.
Conformity, unquestioned, is suicide.

Part2
Scared of their own shadows,
Haunted by the acrid smell of fear,
Subdued voices, surrendered minds & misled lives
- Welcome to the world of conformists.

(Too far removed from his own identity a conformist is like a bastard, always afraid of his past and, predominantly, of himself.)

Oh, this is the joy of the rose:

That it blows,

And goes. (Willa Cather)
