The Staircase of Wisdom
Life's stages divided by wisdom
By Md Abu Salehin
Life is the staircase of three steps,
Divided by wisdom.
I
The First Step: Beginning
Cursed by pride, but reachable for all
They think they know everything,
Even while they know nothing.
II
The Second Step: Realization
Blessed by respect
He knows that he knows
Yet he stays humble.
He respects everyone
And gets the same from others.
III
The Last Step: Unknown
Loved by the world
He knows everything
There is for him to know
Yet he claims he knows nothing.
And that's true.
The Truth
The more one learns,
The more humble he becomes.
The less one knows,
The more pride he will have.
I fear that.
What if I can't go to the second step?
What if I become arrogant?
That's why,
I decided to never step on the staircase
And stay on the ground,
The ground that will never have pride.
