The Law Of Opposites

In the space where nothing exists,
Everything originates.
In the pains of labor
We draw our inextinguishable strength.
Through giving to others
We give more to ourselves.
The less you work for a goal
The faster you get it.
The more you enjoy your job
The less of a job it feels like.
Welcome to the world of opposites
Where less is more
And minimalism is trendy.
The less impressed you are with yourself,
The more the world around you presses itself against you.
The more you declutter and give,
The little you want or need.
The less you move your mouth,
The more you use your ears.
The more you act like you know it all
The less you actually know.
The less you try to posses life’s possessions
The more alive you’ll feel.
If power is your fresh fruit at the end of the isle
It will also be your disease.
The hand that greedily grabs gold,
Loses love to fortune
For whatever exists,
There exists its opposite.
Careful, careful what you wish,
What you do, say and think.
