Complain

I walk the same street

As most my neighbors do.

We may or may not think alike,

As not many of us do.

 

Yet we all try to get along,

Though our views on life differ.

No one knows for sure

If we could fit in their shoes.

 

Or carry the unseen load

That may be theirs unknown to us.

Well life is like that, no two are rarely the same.

But take it or leave it, just don't become a pain.

You hit the nail right on the head again, George! As long as we can TRY to get along, we're on the right track.

Love ya!

not to become a pain is a great training called 'gong-fu.' So, we all have to try hard to make our life become light and pleasant. Appreciate this piece of thinking loudly. Cheers, alex

A great thought for the day. I hardly know my neighbors except to wave hello. Try to set a good example with my front yard that I hope others will follow. Nothing is gained with bickering with your neighbors… Just loss.
