"I believe...." - My "Desiderata"

I believe in our world there exists more good than bad
And that even in the bad lies a modicum of good
I believe that for each of us lives more than one right mate
That love beats stronger than hate's thrumming violence
That forgiveness brings healing to the not only the soul
of she who receives it
but also to he who gives it
I believe that faith is stronger than disbelief
I believe that angels hold more strength
than a demon holds evil
I believe that when humanity all bleeds red
inequality and prejudice should be laid to rest
I believe the only person with whom we should compete
and do our best to better is she who stares back from the mirror.

dear spain,

The Desiderata.....

Go placidly amid the noise and the haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.

As far as possible, without surrender,
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even to the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story. Like this very much
Avoid loud and aggressive persons;
they are vexatious to the spirit.

If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain or bitter,
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Good becomes Bad when compared with better. And becomes better when compared with Bad.

But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. This is Absolutely true. Fear only for fear.

Keep peace in your soul.

Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.

I like these lines very much

written by Max Ehrmann in the 1920s

dear spain,

all that come to mind is the song fix you by cold play.here are the lyrics.

When you try your best but you don't succeed
When you get what you want but not what you need
When you feel so tired but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse.

And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

And high up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
But if you never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth
