Enlightened

When a man knows what is good or bad,
And in the good what shall be better,
And in the bad, what could be worse.
When he knows what is love, and hate,
And when he must love despite hate,
And when love must not be a blind force.
When a Man knows what his life is,
And values each day, each hour,
And eventually, each passing moment,
He is a Man who is now, enlightened.

    Ensure Hints I think you stated alot within this entry. You packed such power with the brevity of this piece.

    "When he knows what is love, and hate,
    And when he must love despite hate,"

    This really lingered on with true impact in my mind...
    One of many true tasks of enlightenment.
    "Thank you" for your entry
    "Good Luck" in the contest and all the best to you in it
    Love, Life and Light~
