I must always move between the in and the out.
My DNA does not allow my fealty to two,
only my devotion to one, ... me....
even if I insist that Budda was selfish ....
abandoning the wife and kids for mistress Nirvana.
Believe in something! Anything! even if it is wrong!
That shows commitment, a passion for principle.
A belief in the power of beliefs?
that is weak and passive…
And MAKES ME ANGRY!
When will you learn?!
You’re not always wrong,
I'm just always right!

Hmm... lol... I'm always right too! haha.. no.. but seriously.. I think we have to believe we're right, believe our own realities otherwise why would we believe them? You know what I mean?
Though.. you're right... just believing in anything for the sake of showing commitment is a bit odd...
Fascinating write!
