If Morgan Freeman Read Desiderata by Max Ehrmann

Voice by Clark Fulton

Desiderata
GO PLACIDLY amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.

Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story.

Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexatious to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.

Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.

Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism.

Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment, it is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth.

Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.

Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here.

And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be. And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.

I was deeply moved by this recitation of the Desiderata poem on YouTube. The reciter's voice is full of warmth and compassion, and the words are delivered with such clarity and sincerity that they truly resonated with me. The poem's message of living a life of peace, kindness, and humility is timeless, and this recitation brought it to life in a way that was both powerful and inspiring. The visuals in the video were also stunning, adding an extra layer of depth and meaning to the already beautiful words. Thank you for sharing this wonderful recitation on YouTube. It is a true treasure that I will revisit time and time again. Dedicated to all Inspirational Mindset ❤❤❤❤

The world IS full of trickery, for that is not Morgan Freedman’s voice ! No way !

[electricmaster]

Kind of ironic that the speaker is encouraging listeners to be themselves while impersonating a celebrity. lol

Mr. Freeman's eloquence would be far greater (it almost sounds that it was recited by a voice over actor/ impersonator

Let's have a Samuel L. Jackson version too.
