Compromise is always best for a happy relationship. Allow others to express their ideas and keep an open mind. A good write Mr. Lamoureux!

The second to last stanza really relates with me and what I have been through in life. I lived as a pessimist for so long that trying to be optimistic felt so strange, but with time it began to feel more natural and I was able to find myself again! Love this poem

You definately come accross as a positive person, it appears you have done a great job of transforming yourself. I would imagine you started out positive and have now gone back to your original spirit.

‡ Instead Of Constantly Gazing Into The Mirrors Reflection In Re, Self ? Stepping Outside Atop The Balcony; Gathering Some Fresh Air Whileas Also, The Sea In Precious Priceless Lives And Heart's All About ˜ Easy To Get Lost Inside; To Close One's Eyes; To Run And Hide. Great Poe, As Was Your Kind Visit; Thank You. Good To Read You Again And Keep Brushing In Bright! 'Happy Holidays.' Love Always, Me *

‡ I Am Not Certain If Within The End Of This Verse It Were Exactly Empathy Which Was Being Addressed As Much As Perhaps, Dictatorship, LOL. Hello, Dear Precious Richie, I Do Love Your Pointing Unto The Beautiful Gift Of, 'Empathy!' Waters Grow Dark, Skies Darker, Without Its Great As Heartfuls Blessings ˜ The Apostle Paul Once Said, 'I Protest As Unto Certain Of Your Rejoicings, For I Die Daily.' I Believe In Part What He Was Saying, Was Unto Himself, That He Could Live For Another ? ....

I enjoyed reading your inspirational poem, Richard! The world would be a far better place if we all would take the time to put ourselves in the other person's shoes before reacting. Love, Kim

Very nice write, it really says so much. If only more people had this gift of empathy...

Richard Lamoureux Date: 12/1/2012 9:58:00 AM

I think the majority of us have the capacity, perhaps some are on the verge of discovering this gift.
