When others speak against him, his anger only grows
It justifies the hatred and the contempt for all his foes
He feels he needs protection from the world and it’s deceits
His judgment, fear and suspicion of the people that he meets
He asked the local wise man to alleviate his dread
He must have been mistaken – for this is what he said:
“Cultivate compassion for your enemies instead.”
He spoke about not knowing and delusion and what’s at hand
“Just ask yourself, “What is this?”, and try to understand
Our clinging moves to resentment, to judgment, then on to blame
Our aversion moves to anger, to embarrassment, then shame
You want to face the world without fear and loss and pain?
Then save contempt for no one, in revenge it’s you who’ll pay.
Practice loving-kindness on your enemies today.”
“We spend our lives protecting the possessions we hold dear-
From threatening situations – from pain and loss and fear
Forget about perfection. Instead, right now be here.”
