To Learn and Unlearn
Learning to be in love with all
other creatures, both large and small
is the highway to happiness.
Who could ask for anything less?
Well, i suppose most of us do
ask for less–and how about you?
Is there an inherited gene
which inclines people to be mean?
No. But there are memes which we learn
because of self-centered concern.
Unlearning these bad memes may be
mankind’s ultimate destiny.
Learning; also Unlearning too,
may make brotherly love come true.
