Anger cultivates adversaries
And corrupts the heart and soul.
Intolerance grows like a clinging vine from this poison.
Are we so bold as to think ourselves above another,
The epitome of a self-righteous god?
Enemies will sprout from every dispute if this be true,
Of this I am confident.
Correct thinking and love are our allies,
Understanding this, is a sign of wisdom.
