As I See It - Revisited

Yesterday a wrote a poem
titled: "As I see it"
I did not expect that others see it the same way.
When writing, I tried not to hurt anyone's feeling.

I decided now to mention the various concepts,
each of  which is an abstract term,
that human beings know,
by convention and experience,
such as: "Word", "Soul", "Intellect", Remembrance",
"Faith", "Feeling", "Evolution", and their power.

Each one serves the human beings and it is up to us
to cultivate what we believe or what we know from experience
to be good for us -
But not everyone has the same culture and the same experience.
This is why, we human beings, cannot claim to be complete.

Our thoughts, our words, and actions may create
mild or strong, positive or negative reactions -

To avoid all misunderstandings,
we should understand each concept and its reach.
Some consequences are quick to be felt, others may take time

I did not acquire this knowledge in school but
from various ancestors and experiences.
I cannot pretend knowing all these terms and conventions well,
but I'd like to focus on the following abstract terms:
"Word", "Soul", "Faith", and "Feeling", and leave the other terms to the scientists.

I can say, that, "Word", "Soul", "Faith", and "Feeling", have their own power and their long term reach.
These terms create consequences beyond the life span of human beings.
This way, I advise all my friends to be very careful and to choose and entertain only those thoughts, words, and actions which may in our best judgment, generate positives  consequences.

Those who know the power of the Word, the Soul, the Faith and the Feeling will understand what I mean. For the others, I conclude by saying that it is our duty as human beings to create wealth and to be good towards our fellow human beings. Anything reached through coercion of human beings can only create negative reactions and results. We are better off being poor among the rich than being poor among the poor.
