Wipe Your Slate Clean

Wipe your slate clean off all
the world has written on it.

Wipe off every single prejudice
that history and culture have
conspired to blinker you with.

Wipe off all you've been made
to like and dislike.

Wipe off
the good and the bad,
right and wrong,
happiness and sadness,
joy and grief.

Wipe yourself off yourself.

You'll see the world
like you've never seen it before.

    My trick is to keep it that way... but, alas, imperfection reminds me to go a little further next time :-)

    A touch of amnesia might not be a bad idea.
    Still, losing happy memories wight not be so good.

      That's the whole point. To not compare anything with anything.
