DOTH HUMAN DEVELOPMENT EVER END? (102)

A question for each to ask oneself:


When a fearsome experience
Is left unresolved
Which of your character traits
May still be trapped
In the rubble
Thus—tragically
Remaining
In an undeveloped state
Today?


Kindness?
Compassion?
Generosity?
Courage?
Self assertiveness?
Objectivity?
Neutrality?
Curiosity?
Inquisitiveness?
Independence?
Depth?
Expressiveness?
Inventiveness?
Resourcefulness?
Creativity?
Independence?
Adventurousness?
Reflectiveness?
Insightful/ness?
Depth
Expandability?
Grounded/ness?
Determination?
Resilience?
Rejuvenation?
Integrity?
Honesty?
Truthfulness?
Decisiveness?
Responsibility?
Accountability?
Commitment?

Mutual respect?

Self respect?
Self trust?
Physiological health?
Psychological health?
Sensuality?
Sexuality?
Objectivity?
Humility?
Patience?
Self confidence?
Individuality?
Tranquility?
Forgiveness?
Playfulness?
Silliness?
Triple doses of Humor!
Triple doses of Fun!


As each of these character traits
Is a component of HIGH self esteem
There's lots for each of us to ignore—or
Lots for each of us
To work toward
Developing—


So if you ask me if—
Old dogs can learn new tricks?
Or if
Leopards change their spots?
I'd say yes indeedy—
When old dogs and leopards
Are actually people!


As always
My friends—
The only constant in life
Is Change—
Meaning that every living thing
Is in a constant state of flux


And thus
This choice is up to you:
To survive and grow wizened?
Or to grow ever wiser and thrive?
That is the question
To which you hold the answer!
