In her graceful fall we find acceptance
In complete surrender she has embraced a will
not of her own but of life less understood.
A wise man once said, charity is not merely in giving, but more in understanding. Everyone seeks to be understood. We are unhappy when we are ignored, unheard and taken for granted. And yet the soonest we stop to seek for understanding and start giving it, we realize how life can actually be brighter and more peaceful.
May we never find ill feelings for anyone who has faulted us. Instead, may it always be in understanding that we forgive. May we never feel righteous over people who make a fool of themselves. Instead, we realize what a bigger fool we are to feel righteous.
Oh, there could never be a sadder form of poverty, but that of poverty in understanding. A person who understands is wiser than the learned, is richer than a millionaire, and knows best how to love.

Beautifully written, Karen.
Oh wow. Thank you, Lance :)
true... its human nature that we condemn people and thats the root of all gossiping and rash judgments... but we can always make excuses for those we find hard to understand... and that excuse no matter how crazy it sounds is the start of genuine understanding.
