Bias Blindness





Bias’s Blindness

Truth is denied its move
It is tossed off into the void
Yet, over, and over, and over again,
It tries to make its move and give us its key
To a vault concealed by shrouded clouds,
Eager in wanting us to see
Beyond the theological disparities.

But do we really want to?
Do we really want to remove
This blind preconception
We have padded with animosity?
For the sake of our ego, our pride,
Will we defend our stance
No matter what the lie?

Are we that eager for a sanctuary –
A haven where we can live prosperously?
Filled with certainty
That our reality
Is the minutiae of all realities,
While everything else is just a blur
That falls before our feet.

See you at the hut on the top of the hill, Where the ground actually meet the clouds, The closest we can be to the castles in the sky, Engineered by the dreams of the children of tomorrow, Before it starts to shatter by the de...

The Reality of Freelancing

A freedom everyone longs for yet clueless about People think freelancers have it all: the abundance of free time, an active social life and a steady income to go with it. What a cool lifestyle to live by… almost like the perceptions placed on rock stars in the music industry – carefree, liberating and elusive. Sadly, just like the shaky, unpredictable and tempestuous life of a rock star, that is merely the surface of a freelancer’s reality. Simply put, a misconception of a perception in itself.
