Are we good or are we bad?
Are you smart or are you dumb?
Are you altruistic or are you greedy?
Are you fickle or are you focussed?
What is right and what is wrong?
What is a virtue and what is a vice?
How do you figure it out?
Socrates has some answers, listen out!
The extremes have been explored,
They don't seem to have too many answers,
If both the extremes have been figured out,
and if they don't have answers, what to do?
If both the extremes have no answers, why study?
Why study greed if you'd like to be altruistic?
Why can't we understand altruism without greed?
Why study altruism if it doesn't have answers?
The devil is in the detail, they say,
But the beauty is in subtlety, they miss!
You can appreciate one end, only with the presence,
of the other, this gentle detail is missed!
The answers are neither there nor here,
The answers are at a magical place,
only explorers have found that,
it requires relentless perservarant pursuit!
The answers is very fuzzy, very fuzzy indeed,
the answers lies in between the extremes,
it is neither there nor here, it is in between,
but, you know to get there, you to get here, but how?
You try and get to the answer, you get to extreme,
you try and come back, you get back to an extreme,
how do you stop at the right place,
how do you figure out the fine line?
There are so many adages, also epithets of victors,
all have the same answer, they describe the Lakshman Rekha,
millenia of thought, centuries of reflection, hints this balance,
how do you we get there to that cool spot?
Mentors try and get mentees there and it's harsh!
They push and push until to get the mentees to try,
to try and try until they'd succeed,
this is nasty, but the mentor's job is not to be nice,
The mentor's job is not to be nice, it is get the mentee there,
it is to show the fine line, the line of success to the mentee,
but how do you it without being too nasty? Is this sustainable?
Wait, is it possible at all? How do we connect?
What if the mentee knows about the fine line already?
Wouldn't the mentee take the pain with happiness?
Maybe they would, history does have a few examples,
a few great people who were never conscious of this struggle,
That's rare blood and that's called initiative,
this manifests itself in many nice ways, it reflects itself as virtues,
but dig deep down, see the core and that's initiative,
They don't wait for the mentor to push, they pull the mentor along!
They don't ask for work, they search their own work,
The mentor has to just critique their work, which they've owned,
so neither the mentor nor the mentee fails the pain, they experience bliss,
the most amazing feeling, the feeling of guiding someone to the Fine Line
Hell yeah, this feeling is comparable to none,
That's what locks these great mentors to one subject,
and no "better subject" can move them away, they're committed!
This is a divine feeling, of bliss, of reaching the Fine Line, with someone!
