What Do You Stand For?

Depending on the perspective
The world can appear cold
a bit disconnected
but don't let this
distract from the main objective in life
to be kind and do right by others
even when those others are cruel
Don't do as they do
but rather chose to set the example
Be one of a handful of people
who treat you
as you're supposed to be treated
Don't feel defeated because you don't fit in
That's a great feeling...
it means you're not like them
Because unlike them....you care
You're aware that your actions matter
You consider other needs in the equation
Despite suasion
Jaded are they who consider only themselves
who help only those who can help them excel
The true judge of character
shows up in a scenario
where someone in need comes to you
with everything to lose
and nothing to give
The way you live will expose
the true character of your soul
Question is.....
what do you stand for?
