Basic Truth

Basic Truth

A Poem by Sam Freeland
"

escape will be costly

"
You can take any living organism
out of its culture
but you cannot remove its culture
from any living organism
 
It has taken countless years
for a culture to evolve
living organisms in that culture
depend on the culture for survival
 
Since every human comes from
a culture many years old
that culture will determine many
 necessary survival choices
 
What any person experiences
in the developmental years
will strongly influence choices
for the rest of their life
 
The wisdom of "birds of a feather,
flock together"
is not an accident of nature
but a truth of life
 
Also, "the fruits of the orchard,
do not fall far from the tree"
it doesn't take great understanding
for this truth to see
 
Stay with the culture
you have grown to know well,
you will find more happiness
than anyone can tell
 
Teach yourself what you can
it is what you should do
enjoying more success
will be the gift to you
