wisdom is better than weapons Eccs. C9 V18
as you stop to reload, i ask if the load you’re trying to carry is too much
compassion is such a thing it can disarm the strongest man, and you stop and the weight shuts you done inside
we sit and talk, and you share with me your walk, how you have become entangled in your snares
and the battle that must be won doesn’t involve anyone but yourself
i think you now can see that the enemy was in your head and when that issue can be put to bed, there will be an opportunity for peace
but anytime i refuse to see, my mind is what’s troubling me, i look for victims to hang those troubles on
blind to our own misconceptions of how it’s supposed to be we get these notions in our head that don’t allow flexibility
so now the only power i seek is the power to control me and keep myself in line
so in situations like this i can learn to resist the battle that lies before and instead use my head and look for what is being feed to the other individual involved………………………… if we can take the time to reflect we can usually find the reason words have failed
in the end neither will win unless we leave as friends and realize this was not worth fighting for
wisdom conquers weapons
