Always Be On the Lookout For Good But Still Able To Spot Bad

First and foremost Always be on the lookout for the good And seek to find the best in everyone So long as that doesn't come at the expense Of leaving you blind and unable to spot The bad as well Otherwise because they are able to You will most definitely do for them And at that point even you will be Forced into realizing and admitting Knowing the difference between Good and bad And you won't like that side

True Chris. The bad are always looking for the flaw in others. Good sees the good
