I used to love the "Desiderata" poem (i'm sure most people have read it), but then I discovered this alternative version called Desiderata Too and it seems to sum up so much of what has been discussed here, in other topics as well not just todays. Anyway I hope some of you enjoy it too. Desiderata Too Don't go placidly amid the apathy and lethargy. Remember that your silence is consent and there can be no peace where there is injustice. You can't please all the people all the time, so shout your truth from the mountain top and don't accept nonsense from the bigoted, the ignorant and the self-serving. Don't avoid people who are upset. They may have good reasons and your care and interest may make them less aggressive. Be tolerant of the diversity that makes everyone special and be aware that there are no persons greater or lesser than yourself. Don't live in the past or future. Enjoy the present. Don't become obsessed by your own career. It cannot give you security or possession of anything or anyone. Exercise trust in your dealings but be circumspect, as the world is full of materialists. Become yourself. Express affection for all people and all species. Be sceptical about romance for it is as transient as a summer flower. Don't become tired in your ways and never surrender your sense of wonder. Don't be defensive. Be optimistic and imaginative. Fatigue and loneliness are born of fear. Be rigorous in accepting responsibility for your actions and their consequences. You are a child of your less than perfect parents and like the trees and the stars your time will pass. And whether or not it is clear to you, things are not working out nearly as well as they could. Whatever you conceive God to be, also be aware that every single thing you do actually changes the world. Dreams cannot be broken and they will give you no peace if you don't act with integrity. Unfortunately, this world is becoming uglier each day. Be brave. Strive for the right of all people to make their own paths.
