Excellent monoku Bill. The wisdom flows through every word you wrote. Totally true. But unfortunately, my friend, there are many people like that. Loved to read this meaningful monoku. Blessings my friend!

I'm hoping this makes a few of them think about the way they think of bad-mouthing others. Thanks for the comments, Maria. Have a pleasant weekend, my friend. Bill

I agree my friend and it is sad when some choose to do that... you never know what someone is going through.. Great one liner..

We humans do seem to jump to conclusions when it's the other guy but can overlook many of the things we do and the reasons we do them. Thanks for your thoughtful comments, Silent One, they do mean a lot to me. A poet friend in Texas, Bill

Bill, couldn't of said it better. The decent and worthy take no pleasure in other's despair and discomfort. As Abe said "If you wished to test a man's character, give him authority. All my best, Robert
