There's so much truth in this stanza. Thanks for sharing. - Mario López-Goicoechea - Medium

People are like everything else in nature,
some are sunshine and pure magic,
while others are twisted and bitter.
Most, however, are a mix of both.
At the end it’s who we choose to be
that matters the most.

Finding Equanimity
