Appearance and Reality
Nothing in the world
Is softer and weaker than water
Yet there is nothing better
For subduing all
That is harder and stronger.
Everyone observes
How weak overcomes strong
How gentleness overcomes rigidity.
Yet, this principle is seldom
Put into conscious practice.
Though some may say it is useless
To accept responsibility
For the calamities and toxicities
Of the world,
Taking such responsibility
Might put us on the road
To the Great Integrity.
Just remember that truth
Often masquerades as falsity,
And falsity as truth.

I believe this is so.
I accept the fact that people ( even I in my earlier ignorance ) are responsible for where we are at. Every seeming little choice adds up.
People seem to think it takes a lot of effort when it really simply takes conscious choices.
Thanks for sharing! Have a wondrous day Jj!
