Reason & Fanaticism (The Sonnet) | Sin Dios Sí Hay Divinidad
I feel at home with every faith and ideology,
Unless it’s peddled with bigotry and arrogance.
I bear a clinical revulsion to booze and smoke,
More than that, I am allergic to arrogance.
You cannot reason with a caveman who starts off,
By saying, “my thing is the best because”.
If you could reason with fanaticism,
There wouldn’t be any fanaticism in the world.
Holding on to a belief system is very much human,
But a belief that undermines other beliefs is animal.
Likewise, to sharpen intellect is a good habit unless,
You sharpen it so much that it makes you mechanical.
Maintain a healthy balance between facts and fiction.
Learn to make your head and heart work in unison.
