This is my 2nd poem ever, and both of them so far have been done in around 5-20 minutes each and didn't originally start out as poems.
In fact, even when I finished, I didn't intend for this to be a poem, it's also not like im claiming I am any great poet or anything.
I'm curious how you go from the urge to scribble down random thoughts, to the Eureka! moment that makes you want to share them in the philosophy forums. Are you fishing for the inevitable kudos that are normally reserved for "special" children but are also extended, at least here, to those who attempt to write creatively?
It's a human urge to want to share your ideas with people if you think they are worth sharing and/or can amount to some value or be assigned meaning by others.
I wrote this which basically is completely about realizing how to love one and other, not getting touchy, but in other words, that everyone is equal and should be treated that way. Why on earth would I write about that subject for some selfish reason?
It may have taken me only 20 minutes to write, but I was pondering it for a good hour prior.
Do you automatically just assume the worst in people?
Sorry for burdening you with a post in a subsection of a forum you didn't have to click on, read, or post on. My apologies. I will give everyone else the memo that they shouldn't post anything unless it's up to your standards, or else they might get criticized, because god forbid there is anything posted on this forum that people don't like!

Which is better:
To die with ignorance, or to live with intelligence?
Truth doesn't accommodate to personal opinions.
The choice is yours.
