The Real Good .....

[nimmi_sai]

What is the real good?"
I ask in a musing mood.

"Order," said the law court;
"Knowledge," said the school;
"Truth," said the wise man;
"Pleasure," said the fool;
"Love," said the maiden;
"Beauty," said the page;
"Freedom," said the dreamer;
"Home," said the sage;
"Fame," said the soldier;
"Equity," said the seer.
Spake my heart fully sad:
"The answer is not here."

Then within my bosom,
Softly this I heard:
"Each heart holds the secret:
'Kindness' is the word."

My friends say that if you dislike someone, it's best to tell them and have nothing to do with them. I argued that we should try to be nice to everybody. Although you may not go out of your way to hang out with anyone you dislike, it's OK to be cordial, kind, speak when spoken to

Being kind to others is a mark of civility
