Learn to Love

love is my weapon to open the hearts of men. Love is also my shield to repulse the arrows of hate and the spears of anger. Adversity and discouragement will beat against my new shield and become as the softest of rains .My shield will protect me in the market place and sustain me when i am alone. It will uplift me in moments of despair yet it will calm me in time of exultation. It will become stronger and more protective with use until one day i will cast it aside and walk unencumbered among all manners of men and ,when i do, my name will be raise high on the pyramid of life.

And how will i confront each whom i meet? In only one way. In silence and to myfelf i will address him and say i love you . Though spoken in silence these words will shine in my eyes, unwrinkle my brow, bring a smile to my lips, and echo in my voice; and his heart will be opened.

And most of all , i will love myself. For when i do i will zealously inspect all things which enter my body, my mind, my soul, and my heart. Never will i overindulge the requests of my flesh ,rather i will cherish my body with cleanliness and moderation. Never will i allow my mind to be attracted to evil and despair, rather i will uplift it with the knowledge and wisdom of the ages. Never will i allow my heart to become small and bitter i will share it and it will grow and warm the earth.
