Desire & Having

To have desire for what we already have
Is a fountain of joy;
To have it for what is right to have
Is an inspiration for struggle;
To have it for what is wrong to have
Is a source of sorrow.

Justice & Fighting

Expecting justice
To come running to us
Is a naive delusion;
In societies, as in families
One must fight fiercely
For every morsel
Of justice.

Credit & Sharing

Taking all the credit
For what our minds and hearts achieve
Instead of sharing it with the One who made us
Is like giving all the credit to a race car driver
And ignoring the powerful car he drives.

Worship & Need

We worship God
Not because God needs our worship
But because we need to worship.

Importance & Time

Importance
Is often ephemeral;
What seems important today
May not seem as important tomorrow.

Learning & Happenstance

Some of our best learning
Occurs by happenstance
Without intent or study.

Thinking & Biases

Biases reprogram our intellects
So that we start thinking with our biases
With no awareness that our thinking is impaired.
