Obtain Truth

Obtain Truth

A Poem by Matthew Palmer-Jones
"

Obtain truth and knowledge, not simply to understand. But to put forth knowledge gained, and understanding held for the betterment and well being of others .

"
Seek truth and knowledge continually,not for self betterment alone.
But for betterment of self, advancement for self,
and advancement and betterment,of others.
It is a selfish thing to understand and not help others.
but to display knowledge for the sake of others,
that is good and just.
You yourself would not have obtained any truth,or knowledge,
if someone had not taught you truth from un-truth
or told you t question things and find answers for yourself.
                                    Truth is a precious gift,given to us from our creator.
Like wise knowledge in the same way is a precious gift,which is not to be held lightly.
Apply truth and knowledge daily,so you do not repeat mistakes,of others or yourself.
So live in truth and knowledge,for others.
A self absorbed life,driven by temporary pleasure is without worth,and is void of joy.
