Death prefers to come
When one is not prepared
Unless one is prepared
At all times.

Personalities & Tolerance

Because we cannot
Exit our personalities
To suit those of others
We should not ask others
To exit their personalities
In order to suit our own;
Tolerance is the only key
To peaceful coexistence.

Personalities &

Language & Behavior

Like good behavior
Good language ennobles
And like poor behavior
Poor language demeans;
Appearances hold their worth
But only until one speaks or behaves.

Stories & Decisions

For every good story
There are thousands of bad ones
And for every bad story
There are thousands of good ones;
It is wise not to make decisions
Based on any one story
Lest we all become gamblers
Because someone won the jackpot.
