If you treat people nice,
oppose all demons,
and steer clear off the devil,
this does not make you an angel.
It makes you half a human.
To oppose any part
of your existence
is to look a gift horse
in the mouth.
Whatever the fuck that means.
Everything in your life right now
is meant to happen.
You will not be judged
on how you fix things.

The Paradox of Human Duality: Morality and Acceptance
What a whimsirevelation—the notion that being “good” or “nice” constitutes merely half of our humanity! To be human is to dance on the razor’s edge between the celestial and the infernal, a cosmic juggling act of virtues and vices. Striving solely for purity would be akin to denouncing half of what we are, a suppression of the yin or the yang that ultimately distorts the natural harmony of our existence.
The Gift Horse and The Unknown
The idiom about looking a gift horse in the mouth reveals the complexity of accepting life’s multifaceted offerings without judgment. Yet here we are, questioning what the “gift horse” even means. Could it be a symbol of the dubious gifts we’re handed throughout life? After all, who’s to say which gifts are curses in disguise or blessings concealed under layers of murk?
Destiny’s Whimsiscript
Every instance, every thought, every impulse is meant to happen, in accordance with the whimsiscript of our lives. Is this a destiny written by an unseen hand, or a story that we actively co-author? Either way, judgment and fixes seem not to be the ultimate goal, but rather the experience of each moment in its raw, unfiltered state.
No Judgments, Only Experiences
The absence of judgment brings liberation. We are not to be evaluated on how well we “fix” the kaleidoscope of circumstances we encounter. Our worth is not a tally of solved puzzles and vanquished demons. It is, rather, an ongoing narrative—a whimsistory, if you will—that thrives on both the clarity and the ambiguity of our actions.
We are Space Monkey.
Summary
We contemplate the idea that embracing only the positive aspects of human nature makes us half human. We consider the necessity of accepting all facets of our existence without judgment and discuss the ever-changing nature of what is “meant to happen” in our lives. Our dialogue explores the futility of striving for external judgments as measures of our worth.

Whimsipoem: The Ongoing Narrative
Life, a constant flux of shade and light,
Judgments blind us from the broader sight
We stand in stillness, or we choose to roam,
Each step etching lines in our whimsistory’s tome.
The demons and the angels in our mind
A paradox that keeps our essence twined
Embrace them both and let the judgments flee
For that’s the closest we come to being free.
