They..

TOLERANCE

The best 400 year old advice you can get on how to behave;

Courtesy of an English Poet

called

William Shakespeare

-

They that have power to hurt and will do none
That do not do the thing they most do show
Who,moving others, are themselves as stone,
Umoved, cold and to temptation slow,
-
They rightly do inherit heavens graces
And husband natures riches from expense;
They are the Lords and owners of their faces
Others but stewards of their excellence.
-
The summer's flower is to the summer sweet,
Though to itself it only live and die,
But if that flower with base infection meet,
The basest weed outbraves it's dignity:
-
For sweetest things turn sourest by their deeds;
Lillies that fester
Smell far worse than weeds

-

Something to aim for 
-
Exercise the power you have to control yourself
-
And don't become a lilly that festers

Comment of Shakespeare's Sonnet: LXXIX

It seems therefore that graces may be found

Where

By nature placed
-
They do abound

-

Though through our pens we may record

Those virtues seen

Ah Will

Of love it is 

You surely here do write

A feast

On Beauty

Through thy pleasure'd sight

Thy gaze

To feed a starve'd mind

As food to life compared

Yet still

You pine

Comment on Shakespeare's Sonnets: XC

And so it is that petty grief is easier borne

-

Midst times of woe

-

As life itself with fortune breaks

-

And greater trouble overwhelms it's puny form

That loss is lost

-

Within itself

By loss

So great

Comment on Shakespeare's Sonnets: LX

Whats given free is taken

Free away

-

That born of time may come

But doth not stay

-

Life's gifts it seems

Are given by Time's hand

-

And such it is 

They never long shall stand

And yet

Just simple words

Where all began

Endure

For they support 

A grander plan..

Blindfolded
By our own perception

Unaware

And

Around us

Focused
Upon primitive goals

Generating
Continual conflict

Wanting Everything

Looking
Always for answers

Never
Seeing that which stares us in our face

Every moment of our conscious being

Small wonder
Mankind is confused

Small wonder
Mankind knows not how to behave

-
Large wonder
Mankind still manages to exist

-
We act like children as we play out our lives

-
Oblivious
To that shimmering haze
Of energy
Space and Time
From which we are all formed
-
The time has come
For us to look around

-
Time
For us to face the truth

-
The time has come
For us to know the stage we are upon

-
Time
For us to recognise the forces that support our world

-
The time has come
For us to understand exactly what we are

We all have to die

The Religion of Self (or Time is a Point) - Marcus Aurelius

Of human life

Time is a point

Substance is in a flux

The perception dull

The composition of the whole body subject to putrefaction

The soul a whirl

Fortune hard to divine

Fame a thing devoid of judgement

-

To say all in a word:

Everything which belongs to the body is a stream

And

What belongs to the soul is a dream and vapour

And

Life is a warfare

And

A strangers sojourn

And

After fame is oblivion

-

What then is that which is able to conduct a man?

-

One thing

One thing

And

Only one:

PHILOSOPHY

This consists in keeping the daemon within a man free from violence

Unharmed

Superior to pains and pleasures

Doing nothing without purpose

Nor yet falsely or with hypocrisy

Not feeling the need of another mans doings or not doing anything

Adapting all that happens

And all that is allotted

As coming from thence

(Where ever it is)

From whence

He himself came

Finally

Waiting for death with a cheerful mind

(As being nothing else than a dissolution of the elements

Of which

Every living being is compounded)

-

So

If there is no harm to the elements themselves

(In each continually changing into another)

Why should Man have any apprehension about the change and dissolution

Of all the elements?

For

It is according to nature.

-

And nothing is evil which is according to nature

-

Morning

Cold wind buffets faces rudely

In the early morning light

Sending tears not of sadness

As we leave our place of night

Into a world of a pale half moon

Flying high in a daytime sky

Shelter is how we survive

Reminding us

We are of nature

And

From nature

Cannot hide
