Life is not a test,
But a gift, a precious charge.
Free will, our sharpest tool,
Wield it for the highest good,
And resist the urge to judge.

Each soul walks its path,
Through shadows,
Through splintered light,
Judge not their struggle,
For we too are stumbling, seeking,
In the labyrinth of existence.

Embrace each journey,
For all are seeking to be whole,
In loveโ€™s deep mirror,
We find reflections of truth,
Together, bound yet free.
