Trouble

* Exegesis: "Trouble" (Cat Stevens)

I think I know exactly how an establishment, an organization, a person's conscience, degrades itself.  It is by a toxic mixture of hubris, ignorance, and false reputation.  But it is largely through ignorance, which often is largely innocent in nature.

It is hilarious when an ignorant person pretends to parse out wisdom, and deeply troublesome when two people who are barely conversant in a topic congratulate one another on their feigned intelligence.  It is disappointing when parents do not let their children grow on their own - it is more cruel then bending the stalk of a growing lily and trying to tie it into a knot.  It is embarrassing when teachers do not know their students.

Tears flow freely from the two unseeing eyes set deeply in my heart, but perhaps this is nothing more than the effect of a fast-approaching autumn.
