Be Kind

Will there be love when there is no hate

Will you know friend when you have never met foe

Can you feel smart if no one is stupid

 

Can you appreciate sincerity when you have never seen hypocrisy

Will there be right when there is no wrong

Will you see light when you have never been in darkness

 

Can you define order when there is no chaos

Is there peace when there is no war

Will there be good when there is no evil

 

Ignorance may be the root of all evil

Yet one knowingly does evil

for free will may have its place in human nature

 

To err is human

Embrace and not isolate

Appreciate and not despise

 

For self righteousness, contemptuousness and superiority

is but, built upon others’ imperfection, insufficiency

or mere divergence

 

Seek within for greater truth

For that is where peace resides

 

Be gracious

Be kind

  8. to add:

    “Can you define order when there is no chaos

    Will there be good when there is no evil”

    These are what I always debate on . I still have no answer.


    Rachel : hey kole, just throwing out thoughts, which I myself have no answer. It is interesting to note though that there r scientists our there who prove that order can be created by introducing disorder. As for good and evil, just defining them prove to be too challenging for me. Sometimes I think i should just stick to baking muffins :)

  9. in a child’s eyes, life is simple. much simpler. it’s with age and human relationships that complicates things.
