Exploring Happiness #21- Wisdom Poem by June Stepansky

Candide, in his wisdom, said,
“Let us cultivate our garden.”
No small endeavor,
which, in the aggregate,
can ultimately
change
the world.


We are a world bound together by common natural laws and intertwined destinies. The oceans, winds, pollution, wars, affect everyone on the planet. We must, therefore, look to the complete picture of the world, because we cannot escape the consequences of irrational actions in an interdependent cosmos.

The world as it is needs those
who will love it enough to change it,
with what they have, where they are.
Robert Fulghum


The world is my country.
All mankind are my brethren
To do good is my religion.
Thomas Paine
