Possible is as present as actual
Emotion is as admirable as erudition
Music is as prestigious as mathematics
Caprice is as comfortable as predictability
Friendship is as fulfilling as solitude
Spontaneity is as rich as planning
Comedy is as profound as philosophy
Enjoying is as valuable as owning
Relaxation is as worthwhile as production
Love is as powerful as profit
Process is as important as completion
Spirituality is as rewarding as earthly matters
Abstraction is as firm as the concrete
Art is as meaningful as construction
Details are as necessary as the whole
Macro is as valid as pedantic
Poetry is as noble as journalism
Intoxication is as real as sobriety
A heart is as great as a mind
Aspirations are as laudable as possessions
Imagination is as important as knowledge1
Relationships are as rich as work
Children are as respectable as adults
Fun is as deep as seriousness
Randomness is as compelling as fate
Communality is as honorable as individuality
Femininity is as worthy as masculinity
Introversion is as natural as extraversion
Hesitance is as true as dogmatism
Nonconformity is as lofty as ordinariness
Uniqueness is as acceptable as commonplace
Sadness is as authentic as joviality
Paradox is as interesting as straightforwardness
Gray is as true as black or white
Modesty is as potent as cocksureness
Restraint is as difficult as action
Vision is as fundamental as contemporary
Mine is as good as yours.
Here is another poem, this one about masculinity: “The Truly Noble Man”
