Wisdom for Fools
Where there is no understanding
and no empathy, there is no love.
If there is no empathy, understanding
or an iota of loyalty then there is no love.
Talk is cheap but talk without action equals inertia.
Inertia and choosing to be ignorant of the truth especially
when you know it becomes hate. Hatred of knowing the truth
and hatred of somebody else knowing that you know it.
Love cannot and does not exist in a toxic environment.
Where there is toxicity there is no love.
Going to the grave with honesty intact
and love uppermost is far better than a
longer life led in a vacuum of lies and deceit.
better to sleep with the fishes than it is to
lie down with crocodiles

Amen.
It is written that it's better to be alone than miserable with another.

A life of love and integrity is the healthiest way to live. Actually, in some ways, it's the only way to live. To do otherwise, in my opinion, is to simply exist. And where is the beauty in that? Another wise piece, my friend :-)
Many many hugs!! :-)

It is a fool indeed who chooses ignorance and poison over a life of value and purpose. Unfortunately such wisdom falls on deaf ears and goes unseen, for it is a choice to open your eyes or to close them.
You’re a wise man David, stay true to your heart and hold fast to your principles, and karma will bestow happiness unto you =)
I love you and will proudly stand beside you <3
