Day 5 Foul Perfection

Foul Perfection

If everything were perfect, we'd be bored.
No bliss without the helpful depression.
No freedom without a lovely tyrant.

The helpful destruction of what we know
is sometimes the only path to growth.
Hurricanes, floods, and wildfires:
nature's way to make space for new life.

Remember, when wishing for perfection:
happiness will get tired and overdone.



NaPoWriMo suggested using this Serendipitous Oxymorons Creator today. I played around with it some, and I found a few thought-provoking things:

foul perfection
lovely tyrant
helpful destruction
festive misery
blissful shame
putrid love
depressing optimism
fruitful terror
beautiful punishment

  1. Both quite good but the Wish poem...Oh My don't remember every reading that before. It brings tears to my eyes. They are both very thought provoking.
