If the I is patient, the I will find times where the I can bring someone into a Heights conversation, at least for a short time. Sometime the I need to bring somebody a little way into those Heights, and then let them settle again, then do it again from time to time until they learn to rise a little higher as time passes.
I used to completely shun small talk, but now I make use of it a little, but usually find ways to influence conversations to be more into the Heights, or at least more interesting then small talk.
It is more useful to bring out the good in those around you rather than focus too much on their bad. The people of the world have bad mingled with good, to varying degrees for different people, but in either case, the I will not find very many that live even close to the way of Christ.
Do what you can to bring forth good, whether to advise people to help them in their daily trod, or to bring out happiness in those who have too little, or to bring some heights into their spirit, or to help them think a little different then they currently do.
I don't trod with expectation from man. The bible shows that the help of man is vanity and their is no trust in man. I look to Jah RasTafarI in all things. And since I don't trod with expectation of man, I don't get disappointed, and when people do good, I can notice it more easily, and find ways to bring forward more.
