Understanding the -isms

is it sadism if i want things i can’t have
or just the nature of my desires manifest?

is it narcissism if mine is the only real existence
or just my fear of seeing and being seen?

is it patriotism if i know all the historical nuances
or just my petty greed for controversial knowledge?

is it feminism if i discourage my masculine cultural biases
or just my need for a little more validation?

is it capitalism if i feel like incentivising every thought
or just the dull yearning for one of them to be great?

is it optimism that i continue to thrive everyday
or just the guilt of being ungrateful while i live?
