[philosophybits]

One person may perceive deformity, where another is sensible of beauty; and every individual ought to acquiesce in his own sentiment, without pretending to regulate those of others.

Thank you for the tag, @calaisreno and @lisbeth-kk

As an old drabble fan, this was a welcome challenge. Drabbling is so much fun, and excellent training.

I actually did two 100-word drabbles that hang together. I think you won't need any context for these ;-)

Sherlock. I was going to make a joke about this being your last chance to run away, but I think that would slightly mischaracterise why I’m doing this. We both spent so much time running away from each other. But that’s over. I’m doing this now because I know you don’t want to run anymore. I’m doing this because I trust you to stay. That’s what this is, what these rings are. A symbol of that trust. My vow to you today is simple. No more hiding. No more running. From this day, until my last. I’m here to stay. 

John. I was so afraid of my heart for so long. I was afraid of the unreliability of emotion. I thought if I couldn’t rely on my own heart, I couldn’t rely on anyone else’s. But you… We’ve been through the wringer, you and I. And yet. You never stopped loving me. Even when you hated me, you loved me. I know that now. You taught me that if I can rely on your heart, I can rely on mine. My vow today is simple. I will always trust my heart, and I will always, always trust yours.

This was fun!

[For Hume,] morality provides a set of pleasures of its own... Because of sympathy, the sense that you are lovable and worthy in the eyes of others makes you lovable and worthy in your own. For the same reason, the sense that you are detestable in the eyes of others makes you detestable in your own. And morality provides these feelings regardless of whether you think that morality is justified or not. This fact enables Hume to add the familiar claim that virtue is its own reward to his list of the ways in which virtue promotes self-interest without any circularity at all. Together, all of these arguments establish what Hume calls our “interested obligation” to be moral.

to hold love in ones lungs

makes it grow roots there -

spores flowering into buds,

blooming more at every breath

of you, of the air of this earth

you are alive on.

i hold my breath around you,

lest you catch the escaping

perpetrating scent of petals

when you make me laugh

and i shed like a shaking blossom;

i tongue back pollen

sweet and sticky in my throat,

lest it scratch like sickness

in yours.

i wonder if

with each regrowth,

the leaves, too, are taught

another way to fall

in love with the sun

and know that to hold the love

in ones own hands and leaves

and have it belong to oneself

lets it leak like sunlight into life,

upturning the wilted willow

and coaxing back her soil,

that her roots may sink violently

like claws into this earth,

take up life

and exhale warm air.
