I AM PERFECT, I AM FLAWLESS...or am I? - by jrqc (article analysis)

As human beings, we are inherently flawed. Imperfections and mistakes are an integral part of our existence. While we constantly strive to become better versions of ourselves, we often find ourselves succumbing to the abhorrence of what is commonly referred to as sin. This concept calls us out when we engage in actions that not only go against our own moral principles but also infringe upon the beliefs and values of others.

As individuals, we are driven by a desire for personal growth and the pursuit of righteousness. We set high standards for ourselves, envisioning a future in which we embody the best version of who we can be. However, this journey towards self-improvement can be arduous and demanding. It requires constant self-reflection, introspection, and a willingness to confront our own shortcomings.

It is crucial to acknowledge that the notion of sin varies across different belief systems and cultural contexts. What may be considered a sin in one religion or culture might not hold the same significance in another. However, the core idea remains: engaging in actions that are morally wrong or harm others.

In our pursuit of perfection, we must confront the myriad challenges that stand in our way. We grapple with internal conflicts, battling against our own nature and desires. It is in these moments that we face the true test of our character and strength. The struggle between doing what is right and succumbing to temptation is a constant battle within ourselves.

As the quote goes, "The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak." Despite our best intentions, we find ourselves slipping into behaviors and actions that we know are wrong. We experience a clash between our principles and our actions, leading to feelings of guilt, remorse, and self-doubt. These emotions remind us of our imperfections, fueling our determination to do better.

The journey towards self-improvement is not an easy one. It demands continuous effort, discipline, and resilience. It requires us to tame the torrent of ill feelings that may arise within us, such as resentment and complacency. We must confront these emotions head-on, acknowledging their existence and working towards transforming them into positive forces for change.

It is important to remember that striving for perfection does not mean eradicating all mistakes or flaws. Perfection is a journey, not a destination. We must learn to embrace our imperfections, understanding that they are an essential part of our growth and development. Through our mistakes, we gain wisdom, empathy, and a deeper understanding of ourselves and others.

In our pursuit of self-improvement, it is also crucial to recognize that our actions impact those around us. The abhorrence of sin not only affects our personal well-being but also has consequences for the communities we are a part of. We must be mindful of the values and beliefs of others, treating them with respect and empathy. By doing so, we create a harmonious environment that fosters personal growth and collective progress.

While the road to perfection may be challenging and exhausting, it is a journey worth undertaking. As flawed beings, we have the capacity to learn, grow, and transcend our limitations. By acknowledging our imperfections, confronting the abhorrence of sin, and striving for continuous improvement, we pave the way for a brighter future—both for ourselves and for the world we inhabit.

So, let us embrace our humanity, acknowledge our imperfections, and commit ourselves to the pursuit of becoming better individuals. Together, we can create a world that values compassion, understanding, and personal growth, transcending the abhorrence of sin and embracing the beauty of our shared journey.

LA CHICA DEL CALLEJÓN - Descripcion de personaje de ficcion - de jrqc

Ese día el sol brillaba como siempre, bañandola en su resplendor, tornando el color de su piel en tonos de miel y nuez. Su juventud perfumaba la calle y los ojos de los espectadores no la perdían de vista. Ella era simplemente la frescura de la primavera y el calor del verano combinadas casi perfectamente en las carnes y la figura de su cuerpo.  Sus senos firmes dejaban entrever las aureolas de la juventud, mientras sus piernas daban paso a ese menear característico de su coqueteo, al que daba rienda suelta así como su castaña y ondulada cabellera. Su mente anidaba la sed de ver el mundo, de ir más allá de embriagarse del placer que éste le pudiera ofrecer y sin escatimar en ambiciones y sueños ella simplemente se dejaba ir. Era la carencia de estas vivencias y posesiones que la presionaban a sumirse y ser esclava de ambiciones que a veces eran malsanas y mezquinas, pero a ella eso no le importaba. Deseaba agarrar al mundo y hacerle su esclavo, deseaba ser complacida y en su parece...

THAT EVENING - by jrqc

You once said that we are entangled to death since the moment we are born, that we are chained to this earthly prison and that there is nothing we can possibly do about it, that all joy sinks countless times and that lovers will always mourn their dead love swallowed by neverending grief. It seems somehow that sadness in all its complexity lingers within, it extends it branches all over without distinction, with no regrets for who the victim is. Some branches seem to be so rooted that it makes the heart break, it makes it bleed tears to the point that you can barely function. Yes, I do still remember that evening when you said that and I noticed your face sinking, your spirit broken. However, you wouldn't divulge the reason of your torment. Your beautiful darkened eyes were bloodshot and you observed me, intently, your eyebrows would frown at times and your stare would grow deeper as if trying to snatch my soul. You stood close to me, I could feel your cold breath, I could feel you...

WHAT AM I TO YOU? - metaphorical / existential poem by jrqc (explained)

What am I to you but a simple whisper that gets carried away by the breeze? Oh how I wish I was more than a clump of sand and bones, that drain through your fingers like water, but, could I just be more than existence? Tell me dear, for I long to be, for I long more than mere existence! In my dreams of dreams you kiss me,  in my dreams of dreams you exercise your power over me, and I just succumb to the temptation of your temple, I just surrender my flesh to your overpowering caprice of molding me like clay, but tell me dear, is it gratifying being the victim of such relentless temptation? What am I to you? What do you seek from me? You kiss me with your embrace, and I tremble, and I sing to escape you, and yet still you kiss my tears, so tell me my beloved,  are you here to let me go yonder where the shadows don't dare to envelop their surroundings? tell me I beg of you, for existence is vague when there is no purpose, and I long for not only the love of yours, that flesh of ...
