🌙 WM–CLARITYQ–00: As the Eastern–Avalonian Poet and the Prince of Muse Poetry and the Exiled Fayland Citizen, and the Author of History's Greatest Single-Song Tribute to George Washington & the Spirit of Liberty of America, I hereby declare that Jane Austen, my first literary muse, is the Queen of World Literature.
🌙 WM–CLARITYQ–01: In today's society, herd mentality or groupthink is a disease—a disease of laziness and cowardice that turns a person into a mindless drone echoing the noise of the crowd, blindly accepting copy-and-paste, unexamined untruths dogmatically passed down as canonical laws by inertia and interest groups that place tradition over truth.

🌙 WM–CLARITYQ–02: A hypocrite is not to be trusted. He preaches to others one thing, yet believes and acts in the opposite way. Beneath the grand facade of his moral posturing, he is nothing more than a despicable fraud.
🌙 WM–CLARITYQ–03: The hypocrites may whisper in the dark that beauty is mere decoration, yet the entire world kneels at its altar in frantic worship. From nations toppled by a single glance to billions poured into cosmetics and the bloody agony of surgical knives endured just to look more beautiful, beauty proves itself to be an unyielding, sovereign force—one that hypocrites pretend to scorn only because they lack the soul to create it.
🌙 WM–CLARITYQ–04: Louis Cha (Jin Yong): A heartless hypocrite.
He preaches loyalty and heroism, yet coldly casts aside the mother of his four children—the co-founder who helped build the vast Ming Pao empire from its struggling startup days—simply to take a woman young enough to be his granddaughter. Heartless and unfeeling to deny her a fair share of wealth, as he lived in royal splendour and she in poverty and obscurity, only to die alone and unattended in a hospital, unknown and forsaken even by her own children.

🌙 WM–CLARITYQ–05: Charles Dickens — Hypocrite & Heartless
He preached compassion and universal benevolence in endless volumes, yet subjected his wife of twenty years—the devoted mother of his ten children—to public humiliation, stripped her of her home, and barred her from her offspring to pursue a younger bride. To dismiss such callous cruelty as a "private family affair" is a blatant cover-up for an act that fails basic human decency and violates every principle of true moral character.
🌙 WM–CLARITYQ–06: Napoleon Bonaparte — Heartless Tyrant & Coward
Napoleon is a heartless, unfeeling man who thinks nothing of treading on mountains of bones to obtain his self-glorifying crown. Yet, he is also a coward — quick to desert his soldiers to save his skin upon losing, and quick to surrender upon defeat and capture over the corpses of tens of thousands of his loyal soldiers whom he shamelessly, for his own greed of power, led to their deaths.
Napoleon is a misogynist with a huge male ego, stripping women of their rights under the Napoleonic Code. He is a coward and a villain. France revering him with statues is ridiculous; they should be melted down and used to make statues of Joan of Arc instead.

🌙 WM–CLARITYQ–07:  Lord Byron is a self-inflating, peer-trampling, daughter-forsaking decadent utterly consumed by his own petty ego. Mean-spirited and fundamentally hollow, he squandered heaven-bestowed gifts of beauty, social status, and talent merely to subjugate and degrade others. The veneration of the so-called "Byronic hero" as a symbol of romantic depth is a vile masquerade—a pathetic dressing-up of a morally bankrupt man. Western literary institutions should obsoletize the term "Byronic hero" which poisons the sacred meaning of hero. Â

🌙 WM–CLARITYQ–08:  Hawthorne wrote a manipulative narrative to wring reader sympathy for an unworthy, pathetic coward, while the true victim is shoved into the sideline periphery. The Scarlet Letter is a monument of moral and hypocritical rot, crowned by a deathbed confession that sneaks a deceitful priest away from the deserving punishment of true justice. Western literary institutions must stop glorifying this narrative malpractice and permanently obsolesce the canonization of a work that empathizes with moral cowardice and the escape of true justice.

 🌙 WM–CLARITYQ–09:  Unlyrical prose poetry is prose pretending to be poetry! A paragraph does not become a song merely because an incompetent hand chops it into lines, nor does the absence of rhythm acquire a soul by hiding behind a fraudulent label. Western literary institutions must stop masquerading unlyrical journal-entry prose as verse and recognize that where the music ends, poetry is already dead.

🌙 WM–CLARITYQ–10:  Trauma-dumping confessional poetry is not art; it is a public exhibition of sanitized, performative trauma disguised as courage. Because true human self-preservation instinct prevents anyone from exposing genuine, shameful raw trauma to strangers, what passes for "confession" is carefully manicured and engineered to harvest reader empathy—and to cash in on contemporary institutional poetry trends, grants, and prizes. Devoid of rhythm, rhyme, or musical craft, it deploys the unassailable shield of a pitiful trauma victim to subtly forbid any criticism of poetic craft.

🌙 WM–CLARITYQ–11: Institutions should cease to honor hypocrites in the halls of literature, for no matter how seemingly brilliant their works may be, they are naturally tainted with hypocrisy and deceit.
🌙 WM–CLARITYQ–12: It's despicable hypocrisy to dress up violation of basic human decency as a private family affair to cover up for spectacle-authors. Put yourself in the shoes of a close kin to the victim and the hypocrisy is clearly revealed.
🌙 WM–CLARITYQ–13: How can institutions be trusted when they still venerate despicable hypocrites: Charles Dickens, Lord Byron, Jin Yong, and heartless tyrant and coward Napoleon? Teaching and publishing their works send the message to students and readers that they are honorable persons when they are not.
