Verse From the Emperor

We can single out the tenacious grass after a storm
And the most devoted officials in turbulence.
A bully knows nothing about morality and justice,
While a wise man always harbours benevolence.
(tran.)

You are right Charlie, a bully doesn't know anything about morals or justice. This is very powerful. Your thoughts hold so much truth. ~ Brandy
