ORIENTAL WISDOM
A CHINESE SAGE
WAS ASKED BY HIS STUDENT
WHAT DOES A MAN NEED TO BE HAPPY
HE THOUGHT
AND SAID
AN ARMY
NOT FOR WAR
BUT FOR PEACE
SUFFICIENT FOOD
TO ELIMINATE WANT
TRUST IN LEADERS
BOTH CIVIL AND RELIGIOUS
THAT THEY WILL DO THE RIGHT THING
THESE THREE
A MAN NEEDS
BUT WHAT IF YOU ONLY COULD HAVE TWO
THEN I’D OMIT THE ARMY
MAN WOULD HAVE TO LIVE IN PEACE
BY HIMSELF
BUT WHAT IF YOU ONLY COULD HAVE ONE
THEN I WOULD OMIT FOOD
MAN DOES NOT LIVE BY BREAD ALONE
WHY WOULD YOU KEEP FAITH
BECAUSE WITHOUT FAITH
THE PEOPLE PERISH
