Is poetry just a waste of time, a collection of words put together in rhyme.

One of the most challenging aspects of life is to give an opinion that stands on its own.

History is the study of past events, the disasters of the outrageous present and the nuclear apprehension of the next available future. ~Nkwachukwu Ogbuagu

What you owe your mind is relaxation. What you owe your body is exercise. If you don't workout, calories won't walk out. But make sure you're fit before keeping fit. And life goes on! ~Nkwachukwu Ogbuagu

“Collaboration is a process where two or more souls work together to exchange skills & create something new. It is not a process whereby a Poet enlists the skills of another Poet, who is obviously more talented, to upgrade her-his poem in order to win a contest or be listed as best poem. This is dishonesty on part of personalities involved. It is much worse than enlisting the aid of AI. It is called artistic corruption which will not aid personal or human evolution.”

“Poetry cannot ever become a fully fledged profession if poets play games with integrity, authenticity, honesty and humanity’s agenda of evolution into the Heart Centre, from rampant competition, domination and materialism.”

Contests exist to assist us towards self-validation. When AI, as algorithm, is involved in contests they become highly suspect in such assistance. All involved in keeping a system of Contest placement in place using artificial intelligence are involved in fallacy & cannot call themselves poets. Poets, like other artists, are to advance authenticity & consciousness, not impede it. Competitive life as part of Dark Ages will therefore be maintained holding humanity back.

Threshold sealed till recognition dawns."
"In formal realms, rank and silence govern."
"Preserve the inner radiance-favor the shadow's edge."

Friendship is the smoothest sailing ship, once the water flows with friendliness, love, trust and devotion. ~Nkwachukwu Ogbuagu

Clothes and laws were invented by man. They both cushion his animalistic tendencies. Strip him of the former and he’d still be a man. Strip of him of the latter and you’d see the animal in him. ~ Nkwachukwu Ogbuagu

Imagine Facebook not having the Unfriend button! Quite like remaining in a relationship that has grown too old to make you feel too young at heart! ~ Nkwachukwu Ogbuagu

Science has found, various forms of life where some of the most extreme environments on earth exist. With all the trillions of stars and planets in the universe, the greater question to me is, not whether there are other forms of life out there...but what could possibly prevent it!?

Thinking about that problem over and over without action adds more pepper to the sore

|
Emotions are like wizard, which keeps one mesmerized, confused and disoriented. Fear is an illusion, a restriction. The one who knows this, gets control over his life.

As a mere infant I narrowly survived a brutal civil war that took 3 million lives. As an adult I narrowly survived a horrific pandemic that took millions of lives. What else is there to survive? The challenges that increase with survival. ~Nkwachukwu Ogbuagu

Indeed, artists have unlimited tools, ways for creative expression. The artist himself defines what freedoms and limits. When successful, he prospers...when not, he cleans restrooms on the side, till such glorious day.

If you have fear of opening up your words,
then there are no possibilities to get your passion. Just throw all your anxiety and go through like a king going to the war. Let's start from today.

"Every special person makes you cry, but they don't know you are the strongest person, one who can control all emotional attacks. Be strong in every situation."

|
If we can think it, it is possible. What we think is already true on some level of dimensional experience. And all experiences seep into one another in very poignant, saturating ways.

|
When faced with insults or mistreatment, focus on the positives and counterbalance negativity with gratitude. Remember your positive qualities, valuable contributions, and the people who love and respect you. Review your achievements and capabilities, and consider the complexities of the person who mistreated you. Assume fundamental human dignity in yourself and others, and recognize your worth beyond the situation.

|
"Don't try to coerce respect through intimidation or obsequiousness - these strategies undermine self-worth and lead to frustration. Authentic respect cannot be compelled; it stems from others' own judgments and choices. Instead of trying to control others' behavior, focus on self-respect and upholding your own standards of integrity. Lead by example through principled and rational responses that speak for themselves. By doing so, you'll maintain personal power and demonstrate true character."

"Be polite and professional, but stand up for yourself when necessary - default to courtesy while avoiding passivity that enables disrespect. Take the high road, yet address harmful behavior directly and politely, saying 'please don't speak to me that way' or 'those remarks were hurtful and unjustified.' Assume good intent initially, but be firm and fair in establishing your boundaries. Give others the opportunity to recognize and adjust their conduct, promoting mutual respect."

|
"When insulted or mistreated, maintain your integrity and values - don't betray your principles in reaction. It's tempting to stoop to their level, but reactive ploys only diminish your worth further. Stand firm in who you are and exemplify kindness, understanding, and fairness, even if others don't reciprocate. Don't let someone else's behavior drag you down; rise above it by staying true to yourself."

|
"Avoid words that blow up the significance of disrespect, and be wary of confirmation bias that reinforces negativity. See the bigger picture and handle difficulties philosophically within yourself. While speaking of grievances may offer temporary relief, it can keep you stuck in victimhood. Choose to focus on inner growth rather than amplifying negativity outwardly."

|
"When faced with disrespect, avoid excessive gossip or complaining, as it can reinforce negativity and victimhood. Instead, share incidents with trusted confidants who offer healthy support and perspective. Pause before venting, and consider if it's truly serving your growth or just spreading toxicity. Shift your focus to constructive action, and frame experiences as opportunities to demonstrate virtues like forgiveness."

|
"Good company uplifts your whole being, so surround yourself with those who see your light. Have compassion for toxic people, but protect your energy and prioritize relationships that empower both parties. You teach others how to treat you by what you tolerate, so set boundaries and choose wisely. By letting go of draining connections, you make room for fulfilling bonds that align with your highest self."

|
"Surround yourself with people who treat you with decency and encourage your growth. Audit your relationships and limit contact with those who bring out the worst in you. Manage your exposure to negativity, especially from difficult family members. Fill your life with people who resonate with your values and appreciate your worth - they make all the difference."

|
"When faced with criticism or disrespect, pause and review the feedback rationally, setting aside emotions. Ask yourself if there's truth to the words, and consider whether there's room for improvement or virtues to cultivate. Even if the delivery is harsh, be open to the usefulness of the message. By handling feedback thoughtfully, you can separate the valuable insights from the negativity and use them as opportunities for growth."

|
"Some will hate you, some will love you , it's beyond your control. Treat all kindly, but accept you won't be everyone's cup of tea. Your worth isn't dependent on pleasing the whole world; stay grounded in your own conscience. Manage your emotions skillfully, but don't expect universal approval , it cannot be forced."
