Life is single line walk

Men walk in a single line on the face 

of the earth.  

 Each of them has a bag placed on his chest 

and a bag on his back.  

 In the first bag we place our qualities.

 In the second we place our shortcomings. 

Each man has his own criteria for deciding 

both shortcoming and advantages or qualities. 

 During this long march that we call life, 

We keep our eyes fixed on our front bag

We keep our eyes on our front bag, although 

we aren't quite at our final destination, 

but we feel we shall arrive there soon. 

 During this time, on our backs we still 

have the weight of our vices which hang 

miserably. 

 We pretend to ignore it, because we are 

too busy, 

  We consider our duty to reproach the 

defect of our companions, people around us, 

which are in front of us and we are free 

to see that they have a bag of drawbacks.

 We consider that we are better than him, 

forgetting that those who walk behind us 

can also see our bag of drawbacks. Those 

also consider us less deserving and do not 

give us the respect we need.

--------------------------------------- 

 Isn't this the situation we live every day? 

 This short text should remind us that our 

position is relative among men: we are not 

better or worst than others around us. 

 We should give our companion the benefit 

of doubt and give him the chance to change 

for the better, without reproaching his 

Shortcomings.

flaws and not trying to correct them. "
