Poem Artwork

The Great Master, whose name
Is on everybody's lips, once said,
'Truth does not depart from
Human nature. If what is regarded
As truth departs from human nature,
It may not be regarded as truth,
And that is the whole question.'
Yes, but my counter-question is:
How much true the human nature is?
If truth is that human nature
Is the subject of permanent changes,
How to grasp the truth of human nature?

We need to be true ourselves. Does that help? Most probably not.

Indeed. For many it remains ensconced in their nature to think wisely and act foolishly. I have been guilty of this, on occasion, throughout my life. Human action can be modified to some extent, with discipline, but human nature cannot be changed. The truth is that no matter how wise or creative we are, we are all flawed. I've learned that when you see and accept this you can view others with more compassion. Enjoyed your thoughts, Alexander. Peace... r

You raise some very interesting questions in this clear, succinct poem. The answer: human nature is true in principle, untrue in the way it manifests sometimes on earth since because of our humanity, we sometimes behave in ways that are "untrue".
