perceiving that following the heart was important than following the mind,
Being empathetic was better than being harsh and insensitive,
Being there and accomodative was better than being cold hearted and calculative,
Forgiving was better than the long route of retribution,
Preferring talent and experience over qualifications,
Preferring learning over following outdated, out of context and rote tradition,
Preferring my own freedom and respect of others over subjugation,
Preferring a mutual win-win over trying to win at the cost of others loss,
Preferring appropriateness over right and wrong,
Preferring goodwill over manipulation,
Preferring mutual respect over superiority and inferiority,
Believing that being considerate is more important than blind heartlessness,
Believing compassion is more important than reasonless indifference,
Preferring living and learning over mindless surviving,
Believing in myself rather than blindly following others,
Believing that aligning with the self is more important than taking sides,
Believing in the sacredness of life over mechanized regimens,
Some might label these as feelings and emotions, or deluded thinking,
They are free to do so,
I see it as a rich, experential, grounded lesson that helped me learn the truth from mass illusion.
I see a path unfolding for me,
As an observer and a knower,
And just being blissfully present.
