An embarrassment of riches is everything we want.
Although, no one can have all the things they want; can they, Kant?
There’s denial & discipline; all our parts on trial.
Yet one life can’t do it all; from the greatest to the vile.
Philosophers that posit “if you want it make it so”…
They’re skating past mortality; whose deadline makes life go.
Fear’s not our only motivator; but it pulls its weight.
It fosters forward motion, helps us build & helps us mate.
Still, harken to great orators’ enrichment, not their law.
Urge yourself to see all things; both the insight & the flaw.
