I asked a Wise Man about us
We human beings, he said:
“Half good, half bad,
Half happy, half sad,
Half heart, half brain
Half nature.
Half male, half female,
Half body, half soul
Half normal, half fool
Half animal.
How about you?’’ the Wise Man asked.
“I am all those halves and a half. Am I perfect?’’
The Wise Man answered shaking his head
“Things done by halves,
Are never done right’’.
