A Wise Old Sage Say'th
The Lord give’th you 2 eyes, 2 ears and 1 mouth,
The first two are slightly north, the latter slightly south,
He give’th you more of some, and less of the other,
So as to look & listen more, than to talk and hurt one another.
So take’th some sage advice & work in the following order,
First survey the landscape, and keep reactions within that border.
Then listen’th carefully and deeply what others have to say,
Before opening your mouth & putting your ignorance out on display!

Wisdom
When I have ceased to break my wings
Against the faultiness of things,
And learned that compromises wait
Behind each hardly opened gate,
When I have looked Life in the eyes,
Grown calm and very coldly wise,
Life will have given me the Truth,
And taken in exchange my youth.
by Sara Teasdale
True Wisdom
True wisdom is not when we judge or ridicule one another,
As none of us are better than one from the other.
True wisdom is not all the facts that you think you know,
Every time you open your mouth for the entire world to show.
True wisdom is not your version and the opinions you convey,
But rather tolerance, acceptance and understanding is the way.
True wisdom is usually conspicuous through silent interaction,
And shown by the deeds that you continually put into action!
