Life is too short for pulling punches and stifling hunches
Things that need to be said, should be
They tend to fester, rise in blisters drive you mad with the idea that you
should have said something
We're not here to do our own thing in isolation
better to get it out in the open
When you learn a truth that heals you and
reveals the nature of life
Sharing should be a natural outcome of revelation
it wasn't just for you
So, find your kindness, share it gently, no need to
bash anyone with your "truth"
But, the grief you spare another, is one less tear to be counted
among the far too many filling our oceans
If you know something, say something
If, on the other hand, your mouth only opens to destroy your fellow man
run him down and dump on his happiness
Reexamine your perspective and staple that sucker shut
the world does not need
Another prophet pointing out all of the pitfalls, we've been around the block enough times to know where they are
But, if we stop believing that good things happen, will they happen? Will we even recognize them when they happen?
Let's cheer on the dreamer, applaud for the man who laughs in the face of tragedy and rejoice with the one who flies in the face of convention
The world needs more people who understand that nothing incredibly awesome ever came by doing the same thing in the same way
Or from being afraid to take chances on crazy ideas that occur to us suddenly in the middle of something "important"
That the whole world could have lived without hearing, like another sermon, or a presidential debate
So, here is the long and the short of it, the very heart of it is, if you can add to the world's joy by just one second, do it, but adding grief should be a capital offense.
