Do Not Walk With the Blind

I do not fall upon those who have no understanding.
Nor should you let them fall upon you.
Only fools call upon the stupid ones.
Only stupid ones call upon the fools.

I don't walk with the blind one for if I should fall so will he.
It's not wise to walk with the blind one for he can not see.
It is wrong to make him stumble and make him fall before me.

I do not travel with the lame one.
For the lame will slow you down.
Nor should you travel with the lame  so that you do not become the same.  
The lame ones hold much shame and will soon see the grave.


Do not follow those who have no understanding.
Do not walk with the blind.
Do not travel with the lame one.
Do as I have said and great happiness you will find.
