To Name A Law

To be content
when all about you
is argument and dissent
is to be swimming 
against current opinions

To be content
when all about you
is disrespect and ridicule
is to step out of
power struggles 

To be content
when all about you
begs to have disorder and chaos
is to respect a universal law
The Law of Peace and Acceptance

To be content
while standing up for beliefs
can be more unbalancing than chaos
while opinions still differ
yet open the door for compromise.

“Smile, breathe and go slowly.”

~ Thich Nhat Hanh
