Life's Lessons, Volume 02

You never really die
for the soul is Eternal.

Freedom isn't free,
it's purchased in blood
by the sacrifices.
of brave people.

If you're prepared
for the worst case scenario,
there's a good chance
it'll never happen.

When you neglect
to make ready for trouble
watch out;
it's likely right around the corner.

Payback
is a motherfucker,
because karma
has a way
of leveling things out
in the long run.

Love is best defined
like this;
when Somebody Else's well being
is as important to you,
or more so,
than your OWN.

You get OUT
of Life
just exactly
what
you put INTO it.

Material Possessions
and Money
are nowhere nearly as valuable
as the treasures stored
in your Soul.

Things
can be replaced,
but good people
who love you truly
can't.

Music is a salve
for the tortured soul,
a huge comforted
for the battered heart.

Anybody
who thinks that Looks
are important
is vastly ignorant
of history's lessons.

True Beauty
isn't physical,
for such things
vanish with age,
injury,
or illness.

The most Beautiful People
often wouldn't place
in a beauty contest,
but their Hearts and Souls
are exquisite.

Truth is precious
in direct relation
to it's scarcity
in this world.

Lies are Evil,
for deception leads
to violence,
pain
and heartbreak
for everybody concerned.

The most dangerous Liars
are the ones
who sincerely believe
they're telling the truth.

God hates Hypocrisy
above all else,
for this breeds Hatred,
and for a god of Love
this is anathema.

Procrastination
is often a form
of slow,
deliberate,
thoughtful
Acton.

Superior People
love education,
speak and write well,
show respect,
know how to Love,
to give of themselves
without measure.

Inferior People
hate knowledge,
swear constantly,
don't write well at all,
can't really Love anybody,
and take constantly
without ONCE giving.

Writing is a gift
given by a benevolent god
to special people
who listen to the whispers
of the universe,
and who's hearts
never stop Singing.

The dumbing-down
of society
is accelerating
with each passing day,
with the younger generation
stuck with paying the ultimate price.

Laws
that are unenforced
breed contempt
and are much more harmful
than no laws at all.

Absolute power
and authority
tend to warp and corrupt'
when placed
in the hands
of tiny minds.

Animals
are meant to be loved
and cherished
whenever possible,
but NEVER at the expense
of humans,
PERIOD.

It's impossible
to take a stand
on ANYTHING
without angering
many vocal
ignoramuses
who proceed
to make your life hell
if you let them win.

Never let
the Wookies win!

Organized religion
of any kind
tends to breed Evil
and is a type of malevolent drug
for small minded people
who seem to feel strongly
THEIR way is the ONLY right one.

A true God
doesn't require
or want
meaningless rituals,
money,
fancy churches,
wealthy clergy,
or hypocritical followers.

To be continued.
