“The World is my Idea,” in that
Perspective is our fate;
And when we empathize, it is
A cause to celebrate
For we are all born selfish:
Knowing this can tend to free you;
The eyes we’re born with are the only
Ones we’ll ever see through
But we not stay limited;
It’s there, if we’ve the druthers —
For with imagination, we
Can see the world
Like others
Empathy over self-absorption every time.
