Opinion

Everything is essentially
a mere projection
of one’s perception;
the opposing experiences
of pain, pleasure
profits, losses
are but ephemeral,
a transient reality

Yet it is due to
our clinging bondage
with either the cause or the effect
that makes our mental makeup
as our enemy or a friend

One wonders, if
there is a power on earth
stronger than one’s own mind
that can give blissful joy
or is there another devil
that can give pain worse than
what gets inflicted
from the enemy within?
