I do not think it matters much what I may think
If what I think is that which matters not
And isn’t worth too much of passing thought
But I think it matters much what I may think
When what I think flows from what was wisely taught,
And that which shows me those better things to be got
By all who most carefully consider what they think
Before they do those things by unwariness are brought.
To know the fire will burn before the feeling that it’s hot.
Then I do think it matters much what I may think
If what I clearly think, to me, means such a lot. CF
‘For to be free is not merely to cast off one’s chains,
but to live in a way that respects and enhances the
freedom of others.’ Nelson Mandel
A heart at peace gives life to the body, but envy rots the bones. Proverbs 14:30
