IF YOU MUST

If you must laugh, do it cheerfully
The only medicine that is mandatory

If you must stand, stand on principle
Not fickle loyalty that is whimsical

If you must believe, do it unapologetically
For Faith is a virtue beheld personally

If you must cry, do it heartily
It's an emotion with no monopoly

If you must speak, do it with sensibility
Common sense is not a general ability

If you must fight, do it with dignity
For you carry God's genetic identity

If you must write, do it with dexterity
Educate your generation and posterity

If you must give, do it with generosity
Who knows whether you alleviated one's poverty

If you must argue, do it on objectivity
Cause most arguments are sheer stupidity

If you must love, make it unconditional
For no human is perfect our flaws are mutual

If you must run, do it to catch up with your vision
Only you can fulfil your destined mission

If you must?
My candid advice
You should.

Hey mate, this post hits all the right notes! The wisdom here is both practical and a little funny. It's like getting some life lessons without feeling preachy. Definitely agree with the emphasis on standing on solid principles—nobody wants to be a wobbly tourist anymore.

Yeah, this post really hits the nail on the head. The part about finding joy in small things was spot on for me—so true! Keep spreading that positive energy, it’s a gift we all need more of.
