this: (the thing you do)

things are not this way
     or that.

things are what we
     make of them.

or.

what they make of us.

that thing you do
     is the same
as the thing I do
     just done differently.

when you are the one
     doing the thing
you are not the one
     examining it.

so the thing you do
     is not
the thing seen.

but the importance
     of the thing
is that it exists
     & not how it is viewed.

things are not this way
     or that.

things are.
