The Greatest Attribute Of Man Poem by Mohammad Akmal Nazir

The Greatest Attribute Of Man



'Might is right'
Is not always right,
Disgracing, Devastating,
And defaming is not a way
To show might.
It is the abuse of might,
True power lies in ignoring
Other's fault,
And providing him with
An oppotunity
To amend.
Forgiveness is the greatest
Attribute
of man,
Restraint in anger
Makes a man great.
Remember it and enjoy the life.

Excellent! Fascinating reflection. I wonder whether the old familiar saying that 'might makes right' ever referred to the Lord God having established the laws for man, or whether it has always been a reminder that the powerful decide what is acceptable...and naturally abuse their ability; as the Word of God says, '...I saw under the sun the place of judgment, that wickedness was there; ...the earth is given into the hand of the wicked: He covereth the faces of the judges thereof; ....' I like your assessment that true excellence lies in showing mercy, reminiscent of the Lord, ...'God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God. Also unto Thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy: for Thou renderest to every man according to his work.' Superb admonition, and so reminiscent likewise of what we were taught as children, that anybody can fight, but it takes a big man to stop the fight, ie, show mercy? I quite like this piece of yours! You said it very well in fewer words.
