Forgiveness, understanding, mistrust and false accusations, gossip, spreading rumors, always agreeing, never to upset an apple cart when it has no apples. Fluffing off forgetting not allowing it to upset you, easy flowing, a river with no ripples, not a solution to a problem, instead saying there is no problem that needs to be solved.
Drinking and feasting, drowning out bad experiences, wondering why and being slow to anger, keeping safe and secure, warm in winter, alone on an island in a crowd, feet continually dancing and tapping to an inner music that others do not hear.
Playing a game and losing so the other feels he has won when there is no prize to boost anyone's self-pride.
Knowing secrets about the universe, knowing what color to make your favorite, not liking the color that they like.
Hearing ignited flashes of words of hate and seeing the words burn up in a hot fire of good riddance, never to be heard again or said again.
Perceiving someone's fear and converting it to love. Not being there for another because no one is there for you, so taking the bull by the horn and leading him to water.
Talking to someone who imagines the worse and says the worst is the truth and tries to intervene when they imagine all is blackness instead of light. Shields of armor going up and blocking cyberspace, disconnecting lines of communications, gossipers saying others are guilty of the gossiping.
Slanderers writing lies and not apologizing saying their lies are white. Going on living even when you have to walk through puddles of their mud everyday. Knowing that G-d is always with you and the mud puddles will not splash because your sunlight is brighter than theirs and your clouds are not as dense.
People trying to stir up the dredges from the bottom of a soup bowl and then to take your spoon away. Not to worry because your next meal will be just as hot and delicious as your last.
