“Anybody can sympathise with
Sadness and Intelligence
Charles Bukowski once said that “sadness is caused
by intelligence.” The more we understand certain things, the more you wish you
didn’t understand them. I think it depends on society, on the surroundings in
which we live and work. In ignorance society, when people are materialistic and
shallow, people are not bothered by truth. It is sad that the truth does not
make a difference. Ignorance is bliss when life is easy, and you are simply
minded.
Intelligence is knowledge. Knowledge has power. One day,
you work and lead people with knowledge and action to success to obtain the understanding
of goals. Another day, you have the same knowledge and a different surrounding
and understanding that the reality changed, and that there are no need of the
your knowledge and actions, and that creates sadness if you do not know how to get
new, different knowledge and understanding how to improve, react, reflect,
correct, and illuminate to be able to rejects sadness.
Lord Byron said: “Sorrow
is knowledge, those who know the most must mourn the deepest, tree of knowledge
is not the tree of life.” Wise intelligent minds are looking on a way to act
better, reflect on real-life situations, and finding possibilities for new
beginnings. Of course, sadness is an emotional trigger. Perhaps it is a mental state-of-mind
of being driven to a combination of searching for truth to impower and satisfy
the intelligent curiosity. The inner voice says, go, do something to bring life.
Higher level of intelligence uplifts the perception of sadness and happiness
based on principles of morality of life.
Vail of Respect: Poem
When we vail
We lower our head
And body like a flag
For those who go ahead
Out of respect.
It is a gesture for those who vail
To acknowledge who did not fail.
Vail as a submission
Because they stood up for the mission.
For people of strong will
Our hats are off.
We stand still
Getting a little thrill
As vail is a way to hail
That people did not fail,
A sign of love, admiration,
And acknowledge the submission.

Creative people, poets, scientists and artists see more than politicians. Our ocal active nationalist authorities in power with all privileges are provincialists in time and place, they can’t see the forest from the trees. They can't afford to update their points of views after the latest developments, the climate change and pollution, in new technology and data transmission; ignorance and slavery are the political choice of their supporters. All their religions are based on collective instinct of self-preservation of their chosen people, personal faith is not afraid of doubt, it is living in time just like science. The law of nature, evolution is our conscience, own science in Finnish. The Church guided the ignorant believers towards the enlightenment, liberty, brotherhood and equality turned people against the oppression of the Church. Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712–1778) is actual now more than ever before. In Rousseau’s view, humankind is good by nature – opposing other thinkers who served the oppressive power of the Church, they believed that humans are inherently competitive and violent by nature. Ignorant believers were brought up as fighting dogs to serve their masters. Creative people, scientists, artists and other freedom fighters in all fields of life are children who have survived, they accept change and always have all what they need for happiness, they are the fittest of Charles Darwin and they may be able to save us as human race and the life as we know it on this wonderful planet. I never have time to get bored; I know now that we are always living interesting times. Blessed be the minimalists for they shall inherit the world with cooperation.
You may be operating based on an assumption or a facade that is only a partial representation of the truth. In an effort to display only the good side of the situation, and only the enthusiasm and excitement that you have for something, you may be out of touch with the entire truth, which is that there is a downside to everything, and feelings of anger, frustration, and even loneliness may go along with it.
Silence
and Smile: Poem
First, I dream about my poem,
And then, I’ll write down my dream.
How do I know what to inscribe? –
I need silence and smiles
In my state of mind.
Sometimes, smiles solve a problem.
Ather times, silence helps to avoid
Everything that drives you mad.
I must use my head
And to give room to my hand.
Sleepless nights are not for smiles.
Sometimes, every hour like many miles.
But the finish end
There is daylight to smile.
Universe takes care of both
Smiles and silence,
In the natural time dance.
They are together but never cross
The finish line
Of silence and smile.

Moose and Goose: 1st Act
Moose and Goose
Together had had sweet juice.
Everything was clear
For these two, there,
More than friendship
Between the Dog and Sheep.
The music was playing the dance,
The guests laugh and embrace
With pride and grace
The sweet stacks
Of the best banana pancakes.
Ohm, what do I see?
It is bad for me.
The sheep is on her back,
The loyal Dog is on the top.
There is no more grace,
And nobody wanted to dance.
What about Moose and Goose?
They finished the juice.
The Goose was on the loose.
He had too much booze.
What happened to the Moose?
It was a text that he went on a cruise,
Drinking more booze.
There is no more news,
And I do not have any clues.

Moose and Goose: 2nd Act
I
Mose raised his hoof.
Goose ducked on the roof.
On squawk, one stamp
Then came a bruise
With a stamp of a thumb. –
How does it sound?
II
The moose wears a sombrero.
The Goose is in a Mariachi jacket.
Tacos flying everywhere.
The entire farm caught
In pure madness thought.
Joy on the stage,
And we are turning the page.
III
Honey, honey,
My flappy bunny,
You are very funny. –
Sugar, sugar,
You are a real looker.
I wish I could say it sooner.
The Goose was flyer
And a big liar.
Moose was brown and tall
And could move a wall.
‘Cherrific’ party
Turn out to be wild.
Terrific oligarchy
Without any certainty
And any simple safety.
I have a hearty
Feel of sympathy,
And pity.
IV
Moose spend
The night in jail
Because of the beating attempt.
Nobody will bail
The bad friend.
Unfortunately, this is a new trend.
I am sorry
For the violent end.
Tomshinsky@2025
Moose and Goose: 3rd Act
I
Moose lawyered up
Because he was self-destroyed
After the jail time.
He committed a public crime emblem
Because of the drinking problem
More than on grass a day
Because he passed out on the grass
After drinking more than one glass
Every day.
II
A lawyer was an old friend
A Giraffe with a long neck.
He was tall and peaceful,
A lawyer is not a fool.
As usual, he loved to read a book,
Book a day,
Every day, every day.
His long neck was above the trees
Eating all the healthy leaves.
III
You will not miss the sentiments of savannas.
He was a lawyer, and did not eat bananas.
Dress elegant, in brown-spotted fur
And pretty boots covered his beautiful
long hoof.
Also, he wears hats to be allured.
He was good and never prelude.
IV
The long neck Giraffe’s story
It was a mission to send Moose to
rehab,
As helping an old friend
Was brave and extraordinary.
He wanted to pay back
As Moose was a long-time client.

Moose
and Goose: 4th Act
The doctor was a foxy Sheep
She runs the place
Like an ocean ship –
Smooth and effective,
And soon our Moose got a new
perspective.
Winter left rebab space
For joyful spring to come.
Our Moose became better,
Sober, and this is all what is matter.
With the moon light,
At lonely nights,
He was dreaming about the Goose. –
O’ Goose, my lovely bird,
I love you so much as it hurt
My loving heart.
I do not fight,
And I cannot sleep tight.
My love, we should never be a part,
Wait for me at the farm.
I have a flower in my arm.
Tomshinsky@2025
Moose
and Goose: 5th Act
I know you want to know
What does Goose do as a solo?
Feathered Goose lived at the farm,
Very close to the barn.
She always wondered
What happened
To her long-time friend, Moose.
Is his current life smooth?
She came to the bench
At the ranch.
They have seen many suns
Raised at the juice drinking time.
They knew each other’s tunes
They laughed, flirted, and stayed cool.
Everything was fine
When they sit and wait for the moon.
Listening and whispering
To the symphony of hearts’ rhythm swaying.
Only God knows how to bring joy
To two lonely hearts, o’ boy!

Pride and Softness: Essay
“And still, after all this time, the Sun was never said to
Earth, You Own Me. Look what happens with love like this. It lights up
the sky. (Rumi) It is beautifully said. Cheers to the love without ownership.
What I mean, I am prizing pride and softness.
When new love comes it has pride and grace, confidence and
joy. If you embrace and engage in the conversation, share the time, thoughts,
and emotions, it contributes to a new friendship dance of words, willingness to
share the memory stacks as we look at the back. It creates love without
ownership, with natural pride and self-worth. Pride guards the heart with a
key.
Also, pride makes you stand up, and get higher, far enough,
to observe from above, look up to the high sky, and follow the birds. Pride
makes you disciplined, focused, and hardworking.
Pride could be ignorant, self-centered, but also a sign of surviving
and self-preservation. We need pride in staying on the course and keeping going
even if life offers you detours.
Softness could exist out of pride. Let me say, softness is
a child of pride. When pride loses the keys which are guarding the heart, softness
comes and opens the doors for joy and happiness, laughter and hope. Softness is
a common side of a feminine heart. It attracts the strongest men, longing for
softness and kindness. Softness also has grace to dance, softness is a story to
read, to learn, and to dream. Softness lets the spirit go, lifts the scares and
enjoys the moments, the words, and a squeeze of the waiting hand. Softness does
both take and give. She learned it from mother-pride. Softness has a lot to
offer, flexible and reacted.
When daylight comes and the sundown shines, pride and softness
awoke to rule, to make everything cool.
