Behavior Analysis: Poem Style

I'm a fan of this poem because it kind of tells it how it is. There are things in life we don't really know how to explain and I think behavior is one of them. Behavior is everything we display from our emotions. However we feel comes out in however we act. Why do we in fact act the way we do and feel the way we feel? That is the real question. I like at the end how he says the effect of the universe is no greater then the daily behavior we display.

So we didn't have to post this poem but I wanted to because I think it's a pretty good read :)


BEHAVIOR--fresh, native, copious, each one for himself or herself,
Nature and the Soul expressed--America and freedom expressed--In it
the finest art,
In it pride, cleanliness, sympathy, to have their chance,
In it physique, intellect, faith--in it just as much as to manage an
army or a city, or to write a book--perhaps more,
The youth, the laboring person, the poor person, rivalling all the
rest--perhaps outdoing the rest,
The effects of the universe no greater than its;
For there is nothing in the whole universe that can be more effective
than a man's or woman's daily behavior can be,
In any position, in any one of These States.
