You got easily crestfallen
Your limbs immediately weakened
Your lips were hardly opened
As you're overwhelmed by the offense.

It occurs as soon as you wake up
Or even late at night in abrupt
A haughty look can usually trigger
Or even a mere single word muttered.

It dances over high buildings
It hides beneath the raven's wings
For the pride has taken its toll
It is high as the flag on the pole.

It kills the joy progressively
It shatters the dream gradually
It breaks the connection day by day
It builds up loneliness and self-pity.

Go out of the box, do not be elusive
You must see the world from another perspective
Keep in mind, as Jesus was crucified, beaten and humiliated
He prayed for those who tresspassed Him, rather than being offended.

Give wide allowance for your brothers and sisters
Recognize their side, do not be ill-tempered
It is better to carry a heart — light and forgiving
The world is already rude — be kind and understanding.

"Good sense makes one slow to anger, and it is his glory to overlook an offense."
- Proverbs 19:11 (ESV)
