Understanding and reasoning and tolerating through life.

I have learned from since when I was young, the way life trickles along its straight and sometimes narrow paths. I was like an onlooker, seeing what those older than I was, how they behaved . I understood quite a lot of things without anyone telling me about them. I reasoned about many things. I tolerated people whom I did not really like, but seeing that they were human beings like myself, I made no real fuss. I realized that there were duties to be performed whether I like them or not. I went about and did them. I also realized that there was a country to be defended. I went and did my duty without any fear.
We have to sit down a while and truly understand that there are powers mightier than we are. We have to reason within ourselves, and not to rush forward foolishly. We have to really teach our children, not what we want them to know--but what they should really know. More toleration is good. We should not make a bad situation worse than it is.
