Cherished Ethics


Cherished Ethics I call myself small, People call me big. I call myself poor, People call me rich. I call myself a follower, People call me a leader. I call myself lazy, People call me strong. I call myself dull, People call me sharp. I call myself sick, People call me healthy I call myself dirty, People call me neat. I call myself a fool, People call me a wit. I call myself bad, People call me good. I call myself illiterate, People call me literate. I call myself unable, People call me able. I call myself timid, People call me brave. I call myself light, People call me heavy. I call myself unfit, People call me fit. I call myself barren, People call me fertile. I call myself hard, People call me soft. I call myself cruel, People call me kind. I call myself the branch, People call me the root. I call myself bitter, People call me sweet. I call myself a layman, People call me an expert. Thanks.
