Getting old
As you grow older,
You will understand that
Closing yourself
In your armor
Of pride and distrust,
Renouncing
All of humanity
Will do nothing but feed
Resentment,
Anger,
Rancor,
Sadness.
From hatred
Comes more hatred,
And hatred burns
Everything
It encounters.
Open yourself to others,
Quench your thirst with their empathy
Like a desperate person
Lost in the desert
Who has just stumbled
Upon an oasis.

we are born from the same rib, we dont come from Eden, so dust and water are common in us, so behaving arrogantly,or showing much self pride will only lessen our worth,get our value lower...so we hate people and we think they hate us,and we build false alibis
to our reclusion, but in the deep of us ,its only our fault, our pride, our ignorance, our selfishness, our mean demeanor that is the reason why!!!
