Wisdoms

(verse 1)

1. Fear is, in actuality, hatred turned outwards;
   whereas fear turned inwards is depression.
   So, why not be depressed? ‘Tis much more
   self-enlightening.
    
2. To hate someone is merely to abhor your own
   mirror image; to hate what is really a part of
   your own self, disguised as some kind of
   superiority over those you name inferior.
    
3. One is sly
   when he knows he is guilty
   and blushes
   to confirm the fact.
    
4. Truth is what your “inner” self whispers to you
   (loudly) when you know you’re doing someone
   or something an injustice. And yes, it hurts;
   sometimes moreso yourself than your victim.
    
5. How can such
   a sweet treat come from such a vicious stinger?
   Perhaps the Bee
   is playing Devil’s advocate.
   Or perhaps -- no.
    
6. To be emotional
   is sometimes as cleansing as physical tears
   of passion. Emotions are the senses’ way
   of crying - whether from/of joy or pain -
   without a woman ruining her makeup,
   and a man -- his hanky.
    
7. To admit that you are wrong is not a sign
   of defeat, ‘tis a sign of humility; and by design,
   humility breeds a greater character. That’s why one
   nod his head when he/she is wrong, but never shall
   one bow down -- unless to Jehovah God.
