Poem:
Even the most gorgeous roses have their thorns.
Nobody and nothing in our mortal world
could ever be perfect enough to meet everyone's standards.
Yet that doesn't necessarily decrease
that person's or thing's worth.
We will never fully understand
what another person goes through.
We could only make a guess
based on what our senses could perceive
and what our learning and experiences may tell us.
We may be right with our conclusions 99% of the time
yet that doesn't obscure the fact
that the 1% chance we could be wrong
could even become catastrophic if not considered.
It's good to look at situations
with a more open mind and with best intentions.
At times if not all the time,
it's better to be kind than be right.
Thank you to those of you who already do.
