words and wine
text © Raj Arumugam, May 2008; picture: ancient Chinese painting of Chuang Tzu; I believe the image used in this blog is in the public domain
words and argument
and lengthy exploration of meaning
are useful
or pleasurable to many;
words and argument
are useful to the ego;
words and argument are useless
for insight:
I see what I see;
I sleep when people argue;
I wake up when the wine flows
words and wine

Sorry for the late reply, Padmja to your reequest; yes, please go ahead
My I say that, considering Chuang Tzu's ideas and philopshy, these are words I imagine Chuang Tzu might say...They are not his exact words but it is fairly consistent with his philopshy....

Ah! Ah! That's a powerful one, Raj.
I see what I see;
Allow me to use these words in my works (of course with your permission and due dedication to you) when I need them.

Like Raj,
I am not a lawyer.
Arguments
Can really bore ya.
Logic's twists
Can really floor ya.
I prefer to be.

Wonderful comment and verse. It is truly beautiful and well-written; do post it as a poem in your site. If you like, you can use the picture I have used of Chuang Tzu or any picture you or not.
Wonderful words and thought, Krishnan Bala.

Dear Raj,
A slightly different take :
I weep when people argue for ego,
I sleep when the words have no meaning to go,,
I peep in to others mind,
When deep is their thought
To reap the shine that illuminate my brain
Which to me is the tastiest wine.
Regards.

excellent
and true...for many people words are a symbol of ego
they argue for argument sake
to boast of what they know
i would better keep my mouth shut
than to open it and show my ignorance!
