If/wherE


    If definition of health is/were built on the simple four pillars of reasoning/dimension that "Health as a state/awareness of complete balance/equilibrium being perceived/felt within once spectrum/enlightenment of physical/mental/social/spiritual well being/upbringing". Happened to come across/read two beautiful poems. Thus ending up pasting it within my collections, to be coded within the strings of my awareness for some meaningful mission/vision for someone/everyone.

First..The poem "Children Learn What They Live". By, Dorothy Law Nolte and Rachel Harris.
If children live with criticism, they learn to condemn.
If children live with hostility, they learn to fight.
If children live with fear, they learn to be apprehensive.
If children live with pity, they learn to feel sorry for themselves.
If children live with ridicule, they learn to feel shy.
If children live with jealousy, they learn to feel envy.
If children live with shame, they learn to feel guilty.
If children live with encouragement, they learn confidence.
If children live with tolerance, they learn patience.
If children live with praise, they learn appreciation.
If children live with acceptance, they learn to love.
If children live with approval, they learn to like themselves.
If children live with recognition, they learn it is good to have a goal.
If children live with sharing, they learn generosity.
If children live with honesty, they learn truthfulness.
If children live with fairness, they learn justice.
If children live with kindness,and consideration, they learn respect.
If children live with security, they learn to have faith in themselves and in those about them.
If children live with friendliness, they learn the world is a nice place in which to live.

Every children will eventually grows up to become adults with these embedded/ingrained essence of understanding/undertaking being exposed/established depending on their circumstances/environment. Blossoming out as flowers/fruits/seeds of ignorance/value. The larger picture/question/analysis should be, what/where is once character/attention/personality drifting towards, after being exposed/creating any awareness/moving towards a trajectory of intended direction. Does it just end up as an impractical philosophical excuse/opportunity to evolve out from/into!? Cos! if actions spoke louder than empty words/noise! 

Secondly, the poem..Where the mind is without fear. By, Rabindranath Tagore
Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high. 
Where knowledge is free. 
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments, 
By narrow domestic walls. 
Where words come out from the depth of truth. 
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection. 
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way, 
Into the dreary desert sand of dead habit.
Where the mind is led forward by thee. 
Into ever-widening thought and action. 
Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.

A dream/prayer which leads/guides one into the direction of the pole star, for every wondering mind/soul to eventually venture/fulfill the dimension of lives doted objectivE
