By someone when you are hurt,
Talk not, but keep wisely silent,
Then, further tragedy, you can avert,
Friendly relationships, that will cement,
Enemy into a friend, you can convert,
Then, animosity will be fully absent,
Express never at all your bitter anger,
Press on by using love to be stronger,
Impress for relationships to stay longer,
When someone deliberately irritates,
Talk to him by being noble and polite,
Still, trouble, if he prefers to create,
Explain clearly to him, but don't fight.
If your peace he ruthlessly cremates,
Let your patience reach Sky-height !
