An Ideology on Life “The most valuable lesson one can learn from life, is that it’s rewarding to always be kind and nice. Quote - Poets own*** Ne’er put anyone down what’re you do It’s unkind and someone’s watching o’er you That someone is unseen and is unheard But believe it, they’re hearing every word. It’s known as bullying, that is a fact Never leap onto the action of that Imagine someone who’s fragile of heart How nasty insults could tear them apart. Consider this, it could happen to you What do you suppose to you it’d do You must have heard of the anguish that’s caused It’s truly best to say nothing at all. If it were family or friends abused One would be angry, in no way amused That’s how it is for God on high above Shedding tears for sorrow of those He loves. Remember when’re you’re feeling unchecked Treat everyone with your utmost respect. 31st October 2021

Belle, you've written a great piece of literature, one that is crafted with lyrical beauty and a poetic sensibility. You have wise words and a terrific concept to live by.

Thank you Lasaad, I write this with a special someone in mind, who’s been constantly hurt by words extremely unkind… Belle

Oh how true this is and although we think that sticks and stone 'won't break my bones' they actually do, especially if said by one you truly love in the family, it can break your heart, but I know that this person is as hurt as me for having said it and has said so to me. I love this person with all my heart and soul. so well penned my dear friend. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer

I experienced the same thing once Jennifer, something said really hurt and I cried the whole day long. I don’t know if the person regretted what was said and was hurt as much as me. I did forgive… Hugs and blessings, Belle

Once again, a million people read the very same words in the Bible, yet interpret them differently, making it clear that even gods can't speak without hurting someone's feelings . . . . . .

Something we all do Rico, hopefully we learn to hold our tongue as times goes ticking along… Belle

We are human and fragile. Sometimes it is difficult to forgive and forget We can ony pray for perfection.

Hi Victor, we can forgive and forget someone’s fall from grace and an apology goes a long way in helping with that. It’s continual bullying and abuse that needs addressing we all know that it can lead to the worst kind of disaster and distress and it has to be stopped… Belle

Belle, I really like your poem. I have read many of your poems and been impressed. This was is particularlys striking, and I can relate to it, even though I have been guilty of acting like the first two stanzas. I think we all probably have!

Thank you Milton. We’ve all been guilty of upsetting someone throughout our time on earth, but hopefully we learn our lessons well, repent and try to regain some worth… Belle
