Walt Whitman- A Thought to Start One's Day
Jan 7, 2016 09:28:09 #
Love the earth and sun and the animals, Despise riches, give alms to everyone that asks,
Stand up for the stupid and crazy, Dev**e your income and labor to others, H**e tyrants, argue not concerning God, Have patience and indulgence toward the people.
Take off your hat to nothing known or unknown, or to any man or number of men, Go freely with powerful uneducated persons, And with the young, and with the mothers or families.
Re-examine all you have been told in school or church or in any book, Dismiss wh**ever insults your own soul; And your very flesh shall be a great poem
And have the richest fluency, not only in its words, But in the silent lines of its lips and face, And between the lashes of your eyes, and In every motion and joint of your body.
From the preface to Leaves of Grass, 1855 Edition

Whew, lots there. Some with which I agree. Some incredibly stupid advice.
zb., if I gave alms to everyone who asked, I'd be begging for alms myself. I'd rather not be in that position.

Here on the HOGG insults and slander substitute all too often for reasoned responses. Much easier.
