TAKE CARE

Take care how you decide
whether a thing is true or not
how you form your opinions
whose word you take on a thing
The how of your process says
as much as what you finally 
decide. And if you care about
the people behind it all,
they will take center stage
over any so-called principle.
Hiding behind principles
is an easy out to looking in 
the eyes of someone who's
lost and expecting you to 
guide the way. And when
you have no compass
that includes compassion
then why should anyone
trust your leadership?
