The Two Temperaments of Man (Free verse) by dougsoderstrom
The Two Temperaments of Man
Two temperaments mold the mind of man,
One motivates him to find the one true, exclusively predetermined path
toward God.
The other to engage in an eternal, never-ending search for Truth.
While the one leads to an answer, an arrogant stance, a bold assurance
of knowing something for sure,
The other leads to questionsâ¦â¦ an openness of mind,
The faith to doubtâ¦â¦ a humbled heart.
More than just a simple choice, a decision that one must make,
It is the sine qua non of our existence as a human being,
The very thing that we allow to take charge of our lives,
That which will necessarily determine the character of our relationship
before God.
