vesak spirit

growing up in an unfair environment never taught me to treat others unfairly,
yet it taught me my role to uphold fairness in everyone and everything.

growing up being prejudice never told me to look down on people inferior than me,
but it convey to me that there is something impressive about everyone.

growing up having to give in all the times never made me snatch for whatever i want,
it simply makes me giving things to the rightful owner.

growing up being ugly never taught me to dislike people with no looks,
it teaches me to see the beauty in everyone.

growing up being mocked at never influence me to laugh at others,
but it tells me that respect is to given to everyone.

growing up weaker than everyone never made me give up on life,
it teaches me to fight on with adversities.

growing up being rejected never made me to reject even further,
it teaches me to give a consideration towards everyone, everything.

growing up without friends never made me aloof from everyone,
yet it brought the friendly spirit in me for those that are alone.

growing up being left alone in distress never made me mocked at others' failure,
it just makes me to reach my helping hand whenever i can.

growing up having nobody sharing with you never taught me to be selfish,
but it teaches me the importance of sharing with everyone.

growing up without love never grow the seeds of hatred for the world;
it just tells me how much the world lack in love,
and i have to love everyone even more.

there is always a good side and bad side towards everyone and everything.
i think, so far i choose to see the good side.

Happy Vesak Day (:
