Between a black hole and the Wailing Wall, the terrible discrepancy between my Lowest Self and Highest Self. (a Poem?)

Feeling this dichotomy,

I’ve been a real jerk, yet I want to be kind.

I’ve been a braggart, but want to be humble.

I’ve been unbelievably selfish, but want to be altruistic.

I’ve been frustrated with those around me, but want to be patient.

I’ve told a million lies, but want to be honest.

I’ve stolen, but want to pay my way.

I’ve been gluttonous about certain things, but want to be healthy.

I’ve gossiped about others, but want to see the best in everyone.

I’ve been ignorant, but want the truth.

I’ve been greedy with time, but want to be part of the community.

I’ve held tightly to money, but want to be generous with it.

I’ve been lazy, but want to achieve my potential.

I’ve hurt those I care for, but want there to be peace.

I’ve expressed baseless hatred, but admire baseless love.

leads to cognitive dissonance. So… 

I’ve broken the universe, but now I’m trying to repair it… 

Thank you for the chance to repair the world together from this new Steemit community, which has such tremendous potential…

The black hole is a public domain image, and that's me studying at the wailing wall...
