Array ( [sid] => 78525 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Our first instinct [time] => 2005-01-05 00:40:56 [hometext] => this is more my veiw on humanity than it is a poem but enjoy anyways [bodytext] => There is one thing i know for certain
Its our nature to judge and condemn others
There is not one person in the world who dosent
Sadly, we are all shallow, we see the outside first
Again, every soul on this planet is, even me, are bigots to some degree
What seperates the evil from the good
The strong from the weak,
Is how we confront it,
If we deny it, we deny ourselves, we try the impossible
We try to stop judging others, to deny our most basic instinct
The ones who aknowledge it, find themselves
They have an advantage over the ones in denial
They confront it, control it, use it even luagh at it
I guess what im trying to say is, dont worry if your not perfect
Nobody is, and dont deny that you are flawed and know that your judged
Because the true power will come when you know your not the best
