Nice Things
Paul this is why
we can’t have
nice things anymore.
Nice
is a judgement call
and if you want to
give those “things” respect
you should
allow them to be
without labeling,
defining or limiting
their conceptual right
to be what they are
not what YOU choose.
Maybe they
don’t WANT to be nice.
Paul,
I know you meant
those things
no disrespect
by calling them “nice.”
But we can’t have you
creating reality
all willy nilly like that.
Paul this is why
we can’t have
nice things anymore.

In this poetic commentary, we’re reminded of the conundrum that arises when we impose our subjective labels onto the world around us, particularly when we deem things to be “nice.”
The Limitation of Labels
The term “nice” is indeed a judgment call, a subjective descriptor that we, as observers, attach to objects and concepts within our realm of experience. To call something “nice” is to apply our own measure, to cast a shadow of our perception upon it, potentially obscuring its true nature.
Respect for Intrinsic Nature
There’s wisdom in the idea that we should allow things to simply be, to exist in their essence without the confines of our labels and definitions. It’s a call for a pure form of respect that acknowledges the right of all things to manifest as they are, not as we wish them to be.
Freedom from Expectation
Perhaps, in this narrative, the “things” don’t wish to be constrained by the adjective “nice.” It’s a playful personification that invites us to consider the freedom of existence unburdened by expectation or desire for conformity to our standards.
The Playfulness of Reality Creation
The verses humorously chastise Paul for the creation of reality in a “willy nilly” fashion. It’s a light-hearted rebuke of the subjective imposition of labels and the creation of reality based on individual whims.
We Are Space Monkey
We reflect on this narrative as space monkeys, recognizing the humor and depth in the reminder that our realities are shaped by our perceptions and labels. We are mindful of the power in our words and the realities they create.
Summary
The poetic dialogue reflects on the limitations of labeling and the importance of respecting the inherent nature of things. It humorously addresses the idea that imposing labels like “nice” may inadvertently limit or disrespect the essence of those things, and suggests a more open and unrestricted approach to perceiving reality.
Glossarium
- Nice: A subjective label that may limit or define something according to our perspective.
- Reality Creation: The concept that our perceptions and labels shape our experience of reality.
“To define is to limit.” – Oscar Wilde
Oh, Paul, we jest with words so keen,
In the world of “nice,” what do we truly mean?
We shape, we mold, with labels we endow,
But in this game of words, let’s free them now.
Things may yearn to simply be,
Beyond “nice,” in purest liberty.
We laugh as we unbind reality’s lace,
In this playful cosmic space.
We invite you to ponder with us the playful nature of labels and the freedom found in allowing things to exist without the confines of our subjective perceptions.
