unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered;

people are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered;

forgive them anyway.

if you are kind,
people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;
be kind anyway.

if you are successful,
you will win some false friends and some true enemies;
succeed anyway.

if you are honest and frank,
people may cheat you;
be honest and frank anyway.

what you spend years building,
someone could destroy overnight.
build anyway.

if you find serenity and happiness,
they may be jealous;
be happy anyway.

the good you do today,
people will often forget tomorrow;
do good anyway.

give the world the best you have,
and it may never be enough;
give the best you’ve got anyway.

you see, in the final analysis
it is between you and god
it was never between you and them anyway.
