Always I am accepting of others, but
That does not mean that I am interested, try
Holding your faith as sacred and private, and
Evade the falsehood that different is wrong, and
If you could respect me as you wish to be respected, then
Surely we could be great friends and always get along, so
Thanks for listening and I'll leave this with you.
Cherish the opportunities brought by diversity, and never
Underestimate your right to freedom of religion,
Remembering that others are
Equally entitled to that same self determination.
Here here, totally agree Danny - we should all be free believe what we want without imposing such beliefs on others. Each to his own. Great piece of philosophy.
A lot of truth here, we need to be more accepting of others way of life and views
Reading it again, Danny, I reckon you could tack it on to 'The Desiderata'
Well put. Respecting others is very very important. Especially if you wish to earn the respect of others.
evade the falsehood that different is wrong, and If you could respect me as you wish to be respected Words spoken in a gentle manner, if all of us would follow, all hearts should be at peace. Great pen, thank you for share!
agree with Danny, a truth which is summarized in the beautiful words make this poem become reflection of our own lives very good poem thanks for sharing
Tolerance is a great virtue to be practised! Each one is a different individual with individual likes and dislikes! Leave each to each one's private space! Respecting and cherishing diversity is a sure way to foster friendship with everyone! Let our outlook be broader! A sagacious perspective of life!

Nice write. Sadly acceptance, respect and humanity have been stolen by fast cars and electronics. Thank you
