As Cruelly As People React

Always control your temper, don't explode in fits of anger; not all appreciate kindness. There are a few good people and there are lots of bad ones with different moods and tones: there are those who worry less, all they do is fair and noble! As cruelly as people react, don't take on their madness; the more irrational they act: the greater is their foolishness! It's not the age of saints, too widespread is insanity; don't expect true honesty: sinners outnumber angels! As cruelly as people react, stop them cold in their tract; let your gathered wisdom reveal: that being wise is an arm of steel! There's a tendency in some of us to fall prey to the remorseless liars: not understanding what's truly right, not being aware of wrong conduct! As cruelly as people react, it can have a drastic impact; judge them with a godly insight: they will see your shiny light! When compassion is not felt, when evil replaces goodness we honor darkness, not light; so distant is forgiveness, so pathetic is humanness!
