What is the world? tell, Worldling (if thou know it).

If it be good, why do all ills o’erflow it?

If it be bad, why dost thou like it so?

If it be sweet, how come sit bitter then?

If it be bitter, what bewitcheth men?

If it be friend, why kills it (as a foe)

Vain-minded men that over-love and lust it?

If it be foe, Fondling, how dar’st thou trust it?

Thought:

“It demands great spiritual resilience not to hate the hater whose foot is on your neck, and an even greater miracle of perception and charity not to teach your child to hate.”
