Open the Door, See What's Inside

Hillel the Sage proffers this commonplace for the entirety of the human race Never judge your friend until you’ve ‘been in his place’ So, open the door and see what’s inside Does tranquility prevail or is something cockeyed In you, dear reader, I shall confide Folks oft remind me of Jekyll and Hyde

Cool pom, Gershon,using Hillel as am Inspiration . Wow! Some people are dual personalies, true! Sane souls do not seem to count. But that is only my opinion

Glad you like it, Pange. Your opinion is an accurate one, I think, by the way. Thanks, Gershon

My dad oft recited this Native American proverb: Never judge another man until you have walked a mile in his moccasins. Always good to be open to opening the door...or at least take a peek.
