Logic

An archaic custom or practice which anthropologists believe people of ancient times may have used to help influence their decision making ability. This lost art is sadly neither relevant nor present in the post-modern era.

To not provide an example would be beyond all logic.

Jesus.

Who was nailed to a cross, so we wouldn’t die.

Heaven

Whether an actual place, or merely a concept, the appeal of Heaven is that of another world – a better world – a fresh start – a second chance, to live in death what you had dreamt in life.

Heaven
Chinese food.
A Pacific breeze
An eternity to spend,
With not just a lover, but also a friend.

hope

A stowaway on one of man’s many ships of desire. Too often, it becomes a rude and painful passenger.

"My desire for her to feel the same way about me turned out to be a false hope."

Dandelion

A bastard blossom, a parasitic pansy, an annoying destructive weed which can be fermented into decent wine.

The word "dandelion" is derived from French, and means "lion's tooth" because of the dandelion's toothed leaves.

human

An omnivorous mammal, commonly known to the scientific community as, “homo sapiens”, whose precise evolutionary origins remain in dispute. Though some believe that human beings are distinguished from other creatures through the unique possession of a “soul”, others believe that it is the desire of humans to find a sense of “meaning” and “purpose” in their finite existence which separates man from other beasts. A poodle, for instance, cares not whether its existence serves any greater purpose than its own being. Such thoughts have probably never even occurred to any poodle through out history, nor a gorilla or even a dolphin for that matter. Nor are they ever likely to.

"Cheer up, you're only human."
