Today’s word is “arete” ... ahr-i-tey ... the aggregate of qualities, as valor and virtue, making up good character. (Dictionary.com)
Talk
The foolish of this world,
Who have of arete, none,
Speak in syllables,
Others choose to shun.
Not with facts and figures,
Do they prove their points,
But with attacks on character,
And rants with raised voice.
Until we all can listen,
With logic and with grace,
There will be no reconciliation,
Or compromise of place.
