The Answer


Love the Lord your God
With all your heart
All your Soul
All your strength
And all your mind

And
Love your neighbor
As yourself

Luke 10:27


The answer 
To all the problems
Of this world

Of The Very Thing

There is something that grows
Without water or food
Or help whatsoever

Something that grows exponentially
Much taller and faster with
Each passing year

Even faster with
Title of some sort
Head of anything big or small

Like a hot air balloon
Smoke on top of fire
Rising up and up and up

This being the cause
For so many fights
And self glory

Unwilling to let go
Unable to let go
Of the very thing

That keeps them outside
The promised land

What Is And Has Been

Once I saw the morning sky
That was clear and blue
And thought the day was
Going to be bright

Then I saw at mid morning
Dark clouds over the hills
And expected rain
Which sure enough came

After the rain the sky cleared
To show again the blue sky
And this time I thought
The day will be bright

Only as long as
God willed it to be so
Without presumption beyond
What is and has been

And I thank the Lord
For all that has been
And will be
According to His plan

A Golfer Would Say

People often confuse many things
To conclude erroneously 

Like how as one ages 
One mentally matures
When in reality
People just get old
Maintaining their immaturity
Socially and mentally
Not all 
But majority of them

In this regard more true
Among highly educated
More accomplished
Not necessarily more intelligent
But more driven with 
Anal retentive personality
Who spent much of their lives
Behind the desk in academia

To come out at the end 
With a doctorate degree of any field
Compounding the problem
By which somehow the doctorate degree
Entitles them to believe that they are
More knowledgeable in any aspect of life
Not merely in their own field of study
But also with higher integrity character and 
Understanding of life

Far be it from the truth
At least the thieves know they are thieves
Being honest crooks with integrity
But so many educated and learned
Many of them professionals in the society
Are crooks who would die before admitting
That they are crooks with no integrity 
Let alone honesty or dignity

Utilizing whatever undignified method 
Dishonorable twisted way of rationalization
Or action at their disposal 
To climb the ladder 
To achieve further 
To accomplish more
To continue their life long journey
As that is all they know how to live
Leaving the path of destruction
All the while not aware of their misdeeds
On the contrary feeling self righteous
Self admiring

To that a mountain climber would say
A fisherman would say
A golfer would say
A runner would say
Anyone with self respect would say
It is not what you have accomplished
But how

Whether The Planner Is Evil

There is a way
To tell whether a plan
Is devised by an evil man
Or a good man

Plan made by an evil man
Expects evil counteraction
And the result of that counteraction
Will benefit someone else
Besides the intended beneficiary

Whereas a plan made by a good man
Expects a good counteraction
And the result of that counteraction
Will benefit the very person
The plan was designed for

So when an evil man executes a plan
And counteraction is not evil but good
It results in unexpected consequences
And vice versa
Foiling their ultimate desired results

Therefore
To see whether a plan is evil or good
Apply both evil and good counteraction
And see who or what will be the outcome

Which will tell you
Whether the planner is evil
Or good
