We treasure
the sexy,
it's even
sneaking into mainstream corporate language today
(to my
annoyance)
We cherish
kindness,
for good
reasons
We respect
the hard working,
and we
should, but to what aims are we working?
We cherish
beauty,
even though
it will fade
The only
beauty that transcends our lifespan is mountains, forests, sunshine, God and
His presence
We amaze at
fame,
and
question too little what brought it about
We once
respected loyalty,
do we
still?
We crave self-fulfilment,
and leave a
trail of broken hearts

What is
sexy without intelligence?
What is
kindness without the stability of commitment?
What is
hard work without both intelligence and commitment?
What is
beauty without long-term admiration for a soul, it’s just a fleeting moment.
What is
fame without substance, character and fidelity?
What is
respect without commitment to principle or person?
What is
self-fulfilment with regrets and a life span shorter than your own?
***
Intelligence
is underrated
Long term
planning and commitment is undervalued
