Compare

Do you compare the table to the tree - living,
that it was made from? No!
Then do not compare the religious beliefs of others to your own.

Is not the beautifully crafted table just as fine
to some as the noble tree in the forest?

Both have their good points -
do not impress upon others your point of view
unless they are willing.

Accept what they believe as their belief,
at the same time accept your own beliefs as yours.

Understand the beauty in the craftsmanship and the nobility,
the origin is usually the same -
just hidden beneath the veneer.
