Wisdom (East-West Dialogue)

In Texas, a wise man told me that,
he'd been around guns all of his life,
and he knew what to do with them.
If he felt threatened,
he brought his gun along.

But you wouldn't kill anyone,
would you?,
I asked.

And he said,
If you take out your gun,
you shoot to kill;
aim at the heart.

In a country which once proclaimed itself to be 'socialist',
a wise woman told me,
that money is the goal of life,
and all you need is money.

And I asked,
But what about those unhappy people
who have more money than they know what to do with?
And she said,
Well if people don't know what to do with their money,
then that's not the fault of the money.
