For the very thngs we have done ourselves we will tar, feather and ride our neighbors out of town on a rail. Seems to me the most excercise some people get is from jumping to conclusions about other people.
We oft expect of others,
In most given situations,
What we ourselves would do,
For it's our inclination,
To think that we are all the same,
So we think they would do,
The same as we if we should find,
Ourselves in those same shoes;
So when we suspect another,
Of some skullduggery,
Or we look down on someone,
And think debauchery,
Because they made in innocence,
A picturesque remark,
That we perhaps misunderstood,
And decided to embark,
On a mental journey,
To the land of fantasy,
Imagining the things they did,
And we begin romancing,
Evil thoughts within our minds,
That have no ground at all,
except within our fertile mind,
Where Satan has a ball.
