Strength (Free verse) by Dovina

If I disapproved as strongly as I think you disapprove, I would rage. It takes strength to live a life you don’t like. But when you find beauty even there, I’m amazed.

Woah, back up.

Dovina: If I disapproved as strongly / as I think you disapprove / I would rage.

zodiac: The amount you should think she disapproves is "pretty much, but not enough to necessitate raging."

Dovina: Disapproval does not necessitate rage. Some people rage at the slightest disapproval and some never rage. The two things are not closely related.

zodiac: That's not what we're talking about. We're talking about the amount the addressee of the poem disapproves, which is not strongly enough to necessitate raging. Otherwise the addressee would be raging.

Dovina: So?

zodiac: So you'd be raging in a situation that doesn't require raging from all people who experience it. Maybe you just like raging.

Dovina: So?

zodiac: Um, I dunno.
