A Good Human Being..!

Very often I come across lines or a verse which arrives at the right time. I'm sure its happened to all of you; somebody sends you a poem or lines from a spiritual book, lines which come to your rescue in the situation you are facing. This is how this poem landed with me, just when I needed it, and I thought I'd share it with all of you:
Be generous in prosperity, and thankful in adversity.
Be worthy of the trust of thy neighbor, and look upon
him with a bright and friendly face.
Be a treasure to the poor, an admonisher to the rich,
an answerer of the cry of the needy, a preserver of the
sanctity of thy pledge.
Be fair in thy judgment, and guarded in thy speech.
Be unjust to no man, and show all meekness to all men.
Be as a lamp unto them that walk in darkness,
a joy to the sorrowful,
a sea for the thirsty,
a haven for the distressed,
an upholder and defender of the victim of oppression.
Let integrity and uprightness distinguish all thine acts.
Be a home for the stranger, a balm to the suffering, a tower
of strength for the fugitive.
Be eyes to the blind, and a guiding light unto the feet of the erring.
Be an ornament to the countenance of truth,
a crown to the brow of fidelity,
a pillar of the temple of righteousness,
a breath of life to the body of mankind,
an ensign of the hosts of justice,
a luminary above the horizon of virtue,
a dew to the soil of the man heart,
an ark on the ocean of knowledge,
a sun in the heaven of bounty,
a gem on the diadem of wisdom,
a shining light in the firmament of thy generation,
a fruit upon the tree of humility.
Yes dear reader 'be a good human being'..!
