Lessen In Humanity

Hummmm 

 A young active mind comes in ~

Instantly he's seen as disruptive ~

Maybe he has nudged others into awakening,
  
From their slumber with just a few quotes,,,,

Not much of interest in a loud - mouth, is there?

Unless you get buried in his eyes, or his quotes.

They stand out a mile, take them in, I most certainly did, 

He held many truths in many ways of perception in his words.

Some I didn't necessary agree with,  but, I listened anyway. 

Lessons in humility being seeded here I did see...

"Make other people come to you; use bait if necessary"

"Win through your actions, never through argument."

        "Always say less than necessary."

Karen Anglesey April 30, 2013 at 10:13 AM I can relate to this. Sometimes beng a good listener causes the listener to endure annoying rhetoric. It's a strng persn who can sort out the ramblings of another human being and still be able to appreciate them. Debbie Duncan April 30, 2013 at 10:20 AM thank you for reading ;}

Robert Johnson April 25, 2013 at 2:54 PM We all have opinions of others opinions. That sometimes the Devil beguiles with his minions. A two party system will testify true. That to just keep our mouth shut's the best we can do. :) Peace. :):) Debbie Duncan April 26, 2013 at 1:47 AM ;}
