This is an example of a new poetry form called TREE. The counterpoints are arrayed as branches separated by the '<>' which symbolises the trunk. The lines (pairs of branches) concern the same theme or topic. The first line in bold is the heading. The lines increase in length forming a triangular 'tree' shape.

-----------------------------------------

Truth beyond bias in belief and perception Counter <> Intuitive To be me <> Or not to be Practice makes perfect <> Boredom fosters sloppiness Try to be happy all the time <> Full range of emotions fulfills. Improving your weaknesses <> Focus on what you are best at Always just be yourself <> Adapt, change in response to others Pick me, I'm such a beauty <> All that glitters is not gold Work less to achieve more <> Taking a break, wastes your time Failure is a setback drudge <> Trial and error a win out need Giving is better than receiving <> Rewarding oneself is fulfilling Less is more, easier to choose <> Less to choose from you miss the best one First impressions are reliable <> Snap judgments are biased by your failings When investments fail cut your losses <> Keep investing until you turn the corner Trying too hard voids success <> Success comes through perseverance Least competent overstate their ability <> Highly skilled understate competence All medicines have a placebo effect <> Distrust medicines until they work Being less obsessed, detached wins out <> Success comes by focusing on your goals Spend more to save more, buy quality <> Buy cheap, good things, nothing lasts forever. No luck in success, just hard work <> The more you try the luckier you become.
