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." 4/ 11/ 2013 Tursday 6pm

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.

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. :):)

A very catchy title. There are some very intense lines here. "Win through your actions...", agreed. Nicely done!
