Wouldn't it be great, if the law judged the heart?
How many innocent could find a new start.
Instead, the law judges our actions,
Which often at times, are emotional reactions.
To hate the evil, and love the good,
If only we could.

If only we could.. Some can see hearts - that has to count for something somewhere
Self control is self mastery
Good one!
'innocent till proven guilty'
even that old book mentioned
something about a stone
being thrown only by those
who know, NO wrong..
'judgement'
even after the fact
is hard enough to get right
.. but the heart ..
that's a complex space
to try and judge
and where do you stop, if
you're going to look that deep?
at the cause of this heart's ill intent
or
the genesis causality that birthed it
.. literally ..!
(forgive me, dear poet
I meant no disrespect
I'm just an overopinionated fool
what do i know)
lol
Not at all! It true, who can judge the heart? Certainly not me, or you.
As I've told my kids, better to act than to react. It's those reactions that can be oh so bad and done without clear thought. To hate the evil, wise advice!
I can't lay claim to it.
Great one.
Greater than me
