The Perception that I have
Risen to Great Heights
Has inevitably served
To bring about my own downfall.
In my unity with the whole of existence,
We have all plunged to the depths
In a singular moment of hubris
And must now resume the dedicated journey
Of learning anew,
Only this time-
Devoid of attachment to the impression
That we are in fact learning anything at all

And thanks again! I wrote this particular one after I was feeling proud of myself for having bested someone in a stupid argument. Of course I later realized how foolish my little "victory" was. I hadn't made my "opponent" feel any differently and on top of it all I ended up looking like a real jerk. I ended up sheepishly apologizing after the whole affair but I definitely learned a little lesson
