It isn't...

It isn't about our being flawless human beings, or being flawed.  It isn't about being at odds
with one another... or not.  It's how determined we are to do and say what feels right in our
heart of hearts, even if the whole world turns against us.  And having said what we feel is/was
needed, how quickly we can return to the *fold* as it were, even if we now know what it feels
like to be shunned; outcasts, vilified and humiliated for a temporary loss of *accepted reason*.

By way of reasoning, acceptance is always better than rejection, forgiveness is always better
than resentment and kindness better than cruelty.  Mediating one's differences better than
taking sides where roles are created and accepted in which one is a guilty offender and one
is the innocent victim. 

At least here, at Neopoet, a community of kindred spirits united in poetry, a common thread
weaving words, peoples of all colours, religions and beliefs together in an experience of
shared humanity.
