It's not really a haiku because I forgot I was doing that, but I liked how it turned out.

We're not here to see through each other...

We're here to see each other through, man.

This Dude art and others are found on the Dudeism Discord.

Happy InDudependence day dudes. While Americans observe this day to celebrate their victory over their British overlords, Dudeists use this holiday to affirm their psychological independence from any powers-that-be. Slavishly following any cause, flag or ideology (including that of Dudeism) is dangerous and hampers personal growth. Our indudependence brings us together.

“He who doesn’t remember much from college, Learns to live on his allowance.

He who digs Dudeism deeply,

Does not become a fucking fascist.

Dudeists follow 2500 years of beautiful tradition,

Pooling resources, flowing far, freeing spirits.
 

Cultivate love in the true sense of the word, 

And you won’t need to scam anyone here.

Care about the rug in your residence, 

And it will tie everything together.

Create camaraderie among the bowling team, 

And you’ll enter the next round robin.

Fit right in to your time and place, 

And you’ll be in a unique position.

 
Therefore:
Know a residence by its renter,
Know a bowler by its team,
Know a team by its league,
Know a league by its lanes,
Know the lanes by its location,
Know a location by loving it, in the true sense of the word.
 
How can I enter a world of no-pain?
By loving the world,
Even when it’s full of goddamn morons.”

Excerpt From The Dude De Ching - Free Edition Oliver Benjamin

Perhaps he was not a Dudeist in total, but this passage calls to me as a way to describe abiding.

Knowing you're gonna run into some reactionaries when you head out into the world and steel yourself to abide; pretty good advice I think.
