The Four Agreements

Posted in Commodity Wisdom, Poem by chamblee54 on August 11, 2024


The Four Agreements memed into life on Facebook. TFA is a familiar text. A pinch of truth, to offset inevitable performative hypocrisy. The graphic had a pink background, and a serif-enabled font. I saw a haiku reduction yearning to be free.
1 – integrity peak/ Be Impeccable With Your Word
2 – projection/ Don’t Take Anything Personally
3 – sadness drama/ Don’t Make Assumptions
4 – rent healthy regret/ Always Do Your Best
#4 comes closest to truth, with #2 close behind. #1 is truth telling as performance-art. As for #3, I prefer “when you assume, you make an ass of you and me.”
