How Do You Take Your Tea
My sister puts 2 tea bags
into 1 cup
Takes 1 out then drinks it
with still 1 in it
To me that is no longer tea
but has become soup and
rather disgusting
But that is how she takes
it and makes her happy
And given the fact i don't
understand and am expected
to drink it
Who am i to judge or tell her
that's not right or tell her she
should take hers like mine
Because although the simplest
thing as expressing one's opinion
at the time if gone unchecked
Can lead down a slippery
slope and empowered into
feeling that that's ok and you
are right
Rather than realising though
you may indeed well be right
Should it not be up to each
individual to make live and stand
by their decision
Otherwise how will they learn
from their own mistakes and
build character traits
To help them when they cannot
call upon you to take the difficult
decisions on their behalf
