Seen & Unseen

What we hear or see is tiny
What we do not hear nor see is infinite
Yet, we base our conclusions and actions
Mainly upon what we see and hear;
We are unable to comprehend
How immature our conclusions are
And how distorted are our actions.

Truth & Preparedness

If you tell an unfavorable truth
To one with a prepared mind
He will act upon it;
If you tell it to an unprepared mind
He will ignore it.

Love & Age

After we peak
The older we get
The more marginalized we become
Until we fall off the edge of humanity;
But age, the greatest tamer of humankind,
Cannot tame those who continue to love.

Nature & Humans

Human nature
Is not influenced by history;
We remain the same creatures
Regardless of time and place.

Knowables & Unknowables

Understanding
That unknowables
Are not within our grasp
Helps us deal with realities;
Believing that unknowables are real
Undermines our effectiveness
And distorts our lives.
