How Many… (Poem)

Among 7.9 billion people on the planet,
How many can you get to know of, in your lifetime?
How many can you be inspired by?
How many can you meet in person?
How many can you become friends with?
How many can you feel a strong connection to?
How many can you share your love with?
And by how many, can you truly be understood?

“Understanding is deeper than knowledge.
There are many people who know you,
but very few understand you.”

– Buddha, Indian Religious Leader
