Title. A glass can only spill what it contains we can only be as good as what's on the inside of us. if we have good wine in our cup, were going to spread goodness. if we have bitter drink in our cup, were going to spill bitterness. I think it's all about different types of people (numbers corraspond with stanza) 1. the outcast. cat = vulnerable, on there own, independent. its coming in for help, but nobody hears him. the saddest part is that someone's right there helping him, but the cat is unaware "its eyes closed" 2. the proud peacocks = pride, argent, boastful, haughty the walkway =which is THE place to show off, there in a zoo =its a place for animals, in CAPTIVITY! the peacock has SOME freedom, he can walk the walkways, SO he thinks , he's better then giraffes and tigers. but he's really still in a ZOO, stuck in captivity. 3.the religious first part covers those who talk but don't act. The people who talk about whats right and wrong but never actually seek to end human suffering. 'a glass can only spill what it contains' you can only spill over what's in your cup. the second part is to the always empty, boring people. you can only help them to the point that you yourself are filled. how can you help those when you need help yourself. or if you have a little bit of goodness in your glass, how can you fill others to overflowing goodness? 4. Jesus Its CRAZY Jesus being insulted. and beaten. and Jesus's Father does not defend (protect) HIM! it makes no sense (a mystery) 5. The Fake somebody's yakking, about something, but they really don't understand the topic at hand. there just blabbering. dressing up, = pretending, faking, deceiving. its like a fool who is dressing up, going to a gathering of wise people. the fool is celebrating that nobody really knows who he is, and since the fool 'thinks he knows' what's going on, the fool thinks she's wise, but in reality. we know she's a fool. So the wise are only 'half way listening' and see for her for what she is. 6. The Wise speak... He only half hartly trys to communicate to the fool, but he gives up. . gives up calmly though! its a noble resgination, They both, the wise man and foolish women, saw and did alot, but she (the fool) not understanding the deeper meaning of it all. saw negativity we can function on what is in us she didnt grow up and know how to handle life, the reason everything stunk was because she wasn't full enough to appreciate it. 7. The wise admit It doesn't make sense. look at these paradoxes! God is seen in nature but very subtly. ("invisible is seen!" that's impossible, but it happens in the shadows and mist. mist and shadows are both natural occurrences but are very very subtle and flightly.) God transcends time, but appears in Time (Infinite appears in time) God is so great how can we even attempt to question him. if we question him of course he makes no reply, who should he? HES THERE!!! WE CAN SEE HIM! seeing Him should be enough. he's been there the whole time, why are you asking questions? he doesn't need to respond. 8. think about it what's going on? MY SPIRTUAL LEADER - Jesus, my lips betray with a kiss. = Judas The wise is saying. he's just like Judas. Betraying Jesus, even though he's seen God. and it doesn't make sense. --------------- : ) whatcha think? |
