Others remain cool, then suddenly sting
Human psyche is unpredictable at times
No need to find any reasons or rhymes”

“If our words cannot enhance the peace
We should keep quiet and use our ears
The extent of our perception will increase
As we'll be less to blame for others' tears”

“Life is like walking a tightrope:
A balance between turning inward
Often enough to find your happy core
And focusing outward
Often enough to care a little more.
Leaning too much inward
May make you aloof and narcissistic
Leaning too much outward
May make you bitter and pessimistic.
Keeping balance fuels life with hope.”
