Why Are We Born This Way?

Why are we born with two eyes in front?

So that we must not always look back, but see what lies ahead, beyond ourselves.


Why are we born with two ears – one left and one right?

So that we can hear both sides, collect both the compliments and criticisms, to see which is right.


Why are we born with only one tongue?

Because the tongue is a sharp weapon. It can hurt, flirt and kill.


Why are we born with a brain hidden away in a skull?

So that no matter how poor we are, we are still rich, for no one can steal what our brain contains.


Why are we born with only one heart, deep in our ribs?

So that we can appreciate and give love from deep within.
