Being Good Humans

 
Wisdom
Like pillars of humanity and understanding
Wisdom is a guiding light in a life
We see the world, we see the truth
Able to discern what is wrong and what is right

Courage
Like a guardian at the gate of our minds
Courage stands strong ready to defend
With inner strength and steady determination
The heart’s fortress will be resilient

Justice
Like a moral compass showing us true north
We’ll learn the principles of fairness and rightness
Allowing us to make decisions in virtue and equity
Falling in alignment with the laws of the universe

Temperance
Like a protector of moderation and self-restraint
It is the gateway that leads to true contentment
Simplifying the needs versus excessive desires
Uncovering the wellspring of calmness and peace

I will practice these
Trying to be a good human being
The philosophy of the ancients
Striving to attain enlightenment
