Harmony and Understanding

If people think that I am too strong, I’ll carry them in my arms

If people think that I am too courageous, I’ll prove to them that it is a natural trait

If people think that I am too big, I’ll lift them up

If people think that I am too calm, I’ll put peaceful nectar into the pond of their lives

If people think that I am too arrogant, I’ll make them feel proud of themselves

If people think that I am too kind, I’ll plant seeds of love into their hearts

If people think that I am too selfish, I’ll tell them the beauty of interconnectedness

If people think that I am too generous, I’ll donate even more energy to the cistern of their souls

If people think that I am too aggressive, I’ll walk with them on the wild side of the road

If people think that I am too persistent, I’ll describe to them the immense length of the path

If people think that I am too compassionate, I’ll relate to them all the things that are freely given to us every single day

If people think that I am too smart, I’ll share my knowledge with them

If people think that I am too creative, I’ll walk them around a park and point out the endless imagination of this majestic manifestation

If people think that I am too curious, I’ll tell them all my doubts

If people think that I am too adventurous, I’ll enrich their ears with the inspiring stories experienced

If people think that I am too spiritual, I’ll strip myself from the body so that they will realize that only the soul truly exists

Then, in the end, I’ll tell them that what they thought of me didn’t matter much because I know that one can only see what one has inside of oneself.
