Desiderata
Arturo Benavides
Desiderata
Walk placidly among the noise and haste
And think of the peace that can be found in silence
As soon as possible and without giving up
Maintain good relationships with all people
Enunciate your truth in a calm and clear manner
And listen to others, even the clumsy and ignorant
They also have their own story
Avoid loud and aggressive people
Well, they are a nuisance to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others, you will become vain and bitter
Well there will always be people bigger and smaller than you.
You are a child of the universe
No less than the trees and the stars
You have the right to be here
Whether or not it is clear for you
The universe is unfolding as it should
Enjoy your successes as well as your plans
Stay interested in your own career, no matter how humble it may be.
She is a true treasure in the fortuitous change of times.
Be cautious in your business, because the world is full of deceptions
But don't let this make you blind to the virtue that exists
There are many people who strive to achieve noble ideals
Life is full of heroism
Be honest with yourself, especially don't fake affection.
And do not be cynical in love, because in the midst of all the aridity and disappointments
It is perennial like grass
Docilely obey the advice of the years
Gracefully abandoning the things of youth
Cultivate firmness of spirit to protect you in sudden adversities
Many fears are born from the fatigue and the loneliness
Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself
You are a child of the universe
No less than the plants and the stars
You have the right to exist
And whether it's clear to you or not
Undoubtedly, the universe works as it should
That's why
You must be at peace with God, whatever your idea of Him is.
And whatever your jobs and aspirations are
Keep peace with your soul in the bustling confusion of life
Even with all its farce, hardships and failed dreams
The world is still beautiful
Be cautious, strive to be happy
You are a child of the universe
No less than the trees and the stars
You have the right to be here
You are a child of the universe
No less than the trees and the stars
You have the right to be here
You are a child of the universe
No less than the trees and the stars
You have the right to be here
