Nobody Loves and Either / Or


So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot
nor cold--I am about to spit you out of my
mouth.

As artist, teacher, preacher, psychotherapist,
musician. politician, business person,  cook,
shoe salesman (person),  playwright,
graduation speaker…do you see it
as your mission to please or
to piss off? (Acknowledging
the incommensurate
yet complementary
value of both)
   
Nobody loves an either/or,  I agree. A false
dichotomy my colleagues will claim. I agree.
But they are Conceptual Absolutes, say, that
allow for the mix and shades of gray in  real
time providing rations of  please-to-piss off
for any  given it-depends situation. 

Ratios. Rationalism. Rationality.  

Never the less: which team do you play on
over all: pleasers or pissers?  Got to choose.
No man can serve two masters:  for either
he (she) will hate the one, and love the other;
or else she (he) will hold to the one, and
despise  the other. Ye cannot serve God (so
to speak, in manners of speaking)  and
mammon.

Walk on Eggs (woe)  or Walk on Water (wow)
Mission Impossible never the less & how could

it be otherwise?
