BY NATURE


By nature, nobody is perfect

everyone makes mistakes; everyone has faults

people will offend you; they will hurt you

everyone can’t please you but everyone can’t anger you

what matters is you and your control over your imperfection

do you make mistakes occasionally?

do you offend and anger people on purpose?

do you commit more evil than good?

have you lost the balance of the being?

Are you now a rose plant without roses just thorns?

 

By nature, everybody is judgmental

Everyone criticizes what they despise

Everyone speaks against what they aren’t used to

Your subconscious by reflex treats a different skin color differently

what matters is you and your control over this imperfection

that you don’t know doesn’t mean you won’t like

that you aren’t used to doesn’t mean it’s dangerous

learn to see past the color of the being and see the human

do not lose the balance of the being?

are you now a pitohui without the beauty just poison?

 

By nature, man is many things

Just choose which of those things you are.
