Is it better,
to take a punch; or land one
to listen to a harsh word, silently; or speak it
Is it better,
to be walked on; or to walk all over
to suppress the initial reaction; or indulge
Is it better,
to give; or to receive
to acquiesce, or fight
Is it better,
to humor another’s ego; or ignore
to tolerate; or demand tolerance
(it’s not a two way street by the way, but that’s another post)
Is it better,
to be resilient; or grudgeful
to be compassionate; or competent
Is it better,
to let someone vent on you; or speak your own mind, freely
to withhold that which you know is offensive, or cruel, or simply blunt; or be honest
Is it better,
to aspire; or inspire
to bask in one’s glory (no matter how well deserved); or to maintain perspective
Is it better,
to be rich; or act rich
to be thought a queer; or act the eunuch
Is it better,
to deceive; or to offend
to be trusted; or believed
Is it better,
to say I can’t; or I won’t
Is it really that much better?
What will be the end?

I do not believe your mind capable of philosophical, poetic thought.
So, please, if you don't have anything worth saying, don't say it at all!
I like that one better,
But I think I like the first one better then them all..
Hmm... It is better if you stay silent then
If you are better at being an idiot...
