Reasoning Three

Be tolerant unto others as they will treat you like wise

And be not quick to scorn that which you know little of

For knowledge of life is gained through experience

And every action you deal in has a reason.

Know too that every person is an individual

And that all views of society are different

As each one has their own opinions and beliefs.

Try not to overpower anyone who does not agree with you

Or ones who seem easily won over

As this will show you that a person will say anything

To avoid contention and so miss gaining your reasoning.

Overstand that in these times

The ultimate aim should be well being of mind and body

So take care of your structure and nourish your mind

With upful thoughts and peaceful meditation

A pause to allow time to digest what a one has said

Should be added before you open your mouth

And do not hasten to correct that which you may think is wrong

For if you let a one complete their spoken thoughts

You will not lose by listening but could gain new insight

Of the matter just spoken and not suffer thoughtless embarrassment.

Acknowledge the individual’s right to remain so

But keep a watchful eye or a heartfelt ear open

Greet each day with love and hope for those that come

Into your life

Close each night giving thanks for

another

precious

Day.
