Don’t Tell, Don’t Ask
Please cease sharing anecdotal evidence which you believe would be helpful in trying to understand human souls.
By all means, refuse to accept those who are convinced they have found the missing link or the black and white yet-to-be-understood.
Your inclination to seek the truth may seem noble but if that proof does not produce freedom, then it is a lie, dressed up, pretending to be holy.
When sound is given volume and blares a stereotype, it may seem that the cacophony makes a point.
Silence is often the best place to find reality.
It is certainly a better home for tranquility.
Knowing that it happened or observing the actions of others to foster a conclusion that is less than fulfilling to our humanhood.
It is not the true pursuit of knowledge—rather, just gobbling up the available evil.
Don’t tell all you know.
Don’t ask for more.
Don’t read a post and repost simply because nobody can confirm it erred.
And don’t smirk when someone tells a joke that fans the flames of a childhood prejudice.
Education is a wonderful thing if it makes us smart.
But it becomes a dangerous weapon when it stirs our anger.
Don’t tell just because you think you have the sure-fire cure or the linchpin that has yet to be inserted.
Don’t ask those who are supposed to be experts, having traveled among the natives, and therefore should possess supernal insight.
For life is not about seeing and believing.
If that were the case, all of us would have moments when we would be viewed obscene.
Instead, it is the pursuit of the better, while allowing time for the fermenting of the wine.
Mercy must be our constant traveling companion.
Without offering it, we cannot obtain it.
Don’t tell what you think or ask what they know.
