There is the Human, and there is the Self

There is the human spirit

– resiliance

– perseverance

– love

– inclusion

– survival

a common intrinsic energy, from all directions, and in all directions.

And there is the self

– with an edge

– imagining outside the box

– with inner joy

– with inner want

– with inner universes

– each potentially of creative capacities, in front of which all gods may blush

a view out of the self, not to survive for the sake of survival of a species, not in respect and honor to all fellow human but with the fervor and enlightenment which is imposed on the self by all, merely because the self is the self — unique, irrelevant of current and lineage, a potent entity.
