Virtues

Nationalities, cultures, customs All peoples of our planet Earth Liberals, Conservatives, Independents My take for what it's worth Tolerance, sensitivity, understanding Of other ideas and concepts Tenderness, kindness, gentleness Such admirable qualities to be kept Passionate, Patience, Peacefulness All belonging to nature's creed Generous, honourable, unselfishness A hand to someone in need Farsightedness, courtesy, flexibility The die is cast when we're born Innovator, inventor, or pioneer A leader with passion so warm Excellent characteristics these virtues We seek them all of our lives A balance derived from honour The pinnacle for which we strive

Wow Jack, What an outpouring of wisdom! It is my belief that a little common sense goes a very long way.As far as honor goes, I don't think they teach that from a video game. Keep writing, old timer:)
