My wand, my tongue. My sword, my voice.

I say happy, or I say mad.
I say angry, or I say glad.

is an untruth - an opinion, an assumption,
a point-of-view based on our past.

Is a belief a perception of the five senses,
or is it a perception of emotional feeling?
Is it better to say "I sense" and/or "I feel"?

My thinking is that belief/believing is a very missed used word.

for which the sheep thanks the shepherd as a liberator,
while the wolf denounces him for the same act

especially as the sheep was a black one.

upon a definition of the word liberty;
and precisely the same difference
prevails today among us human creatures
