Expectations

The mind is not a trash can. Never fill it with rubbish you hear

You are

What you expect of others ?!!

So long as you expect lies

Then you are a liar

So long as you expect good will

Then you are a pure person

A river that passes your feet

You stare down seeing only yourself

No wonder there is a massive difference 

Between postive and negative living

Takes clear waters

To reap the fisherman's basket

Such wisdom here expressed. To find the beauty in life is to live it and share it with those we love and who love us.

Set your sights low to avoid disappointment, noooooo, expect the best of all around you.
There are many, many arse holes out there, beware.
Enjoyed your writing

and we see only ourselves, we have no clear water...the reflection is egotistical and murky...

pure lakes, no pollution..a clear conscience has that....
