Understand
the wisdom in the words of King David
As a child about 8 or 9 years old, I
remember being told to read (and memorize) Psalms 37, but couldn’t fathom what
the words meant or how it applied to me even when an adult tried to explain it
to me. Perhaps my mind wasn’t developed enough to understand the wisdom
in the words of King David or perhaps I was trying to comprehend more than I
needed to know.
Nevertheless, King David’s instruction to refrain from fretting or getting over what people say and do still applies.
I often like to observe people interacting with others. More than listening to what’s said, I like to observe body language which can tell a different story. I also pay attention to tone and in my humble observation of students playing or a teacher teaching, I can get a sense of what’s going on, even when it’s in another language. More than observing people, I like watching animals whether at the zoo or a documentary; I find it’s quite interesting how communication occurs without words.
