It always saddens me that the “hood” has transformed, eradicating my past along with my sentimental journeying 🙏🏻🕊️

Very nice and original rhymes. Indeed, it can be quite an experience to get back to your memorable places only to find them irreversibly changed and forsaken.

“Watch your thoughts,
they become your words;
watch your words,
they become your actions;
watch your actions,
they become your habits;
watch your habits,
they become your character;
watch your character,
it becomes your destiny.”

by
Lao Tzu (born 571 BC)
The tragedy is that we have no control over our thoughts. Hitler’s mind told him to wage wars, regardless. We know the consequences. It is the same with all those who launched wars. Thoughts lead in the end to character, which itself defines your destiny.
In the end, we have no control over the whole process.

You\'re not at fault thinking a bad thought! But choosing to continue to think about it, perhaps maybe then a little.

An interesting concept that bears the question, whose the judge of another\'s thoughts. Well, I guess we don\'t have to live long and share much to find out other humans can be. Of course, for those who believe, there\'s God. Does God judge our thoughts? It seems not so long as those thoughts don\'t take root in the heart...which is a broad difference from those who are simply thinking thoughts. For something to take root, it then grows, it spreads and, of course that alone is actionable not to mention that the spreading often goes beyond the individual in harmful ways. A most thought-provoking poem, Soren. Another fave. 🌹👏

Unthought out motives is impossible to prove, let alone establish. I wonder how the legal system works this out. Intriguing stuff🕊️🙏🏻

To live in self-deception for the sake of outward peace and decency — that is the real drama.
A deeply philosophical poem, striking in its honesty. I like it!

MDStone said:

There are so many ways to protect and preserve. Often it is our own pain that develops us into those roles for others. Becoming bolder, stronger, sharper, selfless… all to try to keep others from accident and pain. A beautiful snapshot of life, Soren. Thanks for sharing.

A wonderful essay on the virtue of sacrifice.So many ways inanimate objects suffer for the common good.This could be taken as a metaphor for the human experience.For examples in War time.
