⁠One day I forgave my enemy and I was... Abraham Schneersohn

⁠One day I forgave my enemy and I was strong.
In the other I asked for forgiveness and I was great.
One day I showed my reasons and was eloquent.
In the other I heard my neighbor and I was human.
One day I fought for my cause and I was brave.
In the other I fought for the cause of others and I was people.
One day I fought for what I wanted and I was persevering.
In the other I shared the bread and was rich.
One day I received applause and was admired.
In the other I did good in silence and the heavens applauded me.
One day I used my intelligence and was respected.
In the other I used my heart and was loved.
One day I decided to write and I was criticized
In the other I received a sincere "thank you" from a lady.
