Before We

Before we are offended by the comments others have made concerning our actions

We should examine the reasons that have offended those who made the comments!

* It is a sad truth that a lot of bitterness exists among certain members of our poetic and loving family that we all have to help eliminate for we are children of harmonious poetry!

There is so much truth in what you have written, dear. Any message, even the most caring one can be misconstrued due to the frame of reference of the receiver. I have taught this in my Communications course. There is interference (inner and outer) and the reader's/listen's own frame of reference. So much can prevent the message from getting across as intended. You seek for clarity and it is only be being open that such disagreements can be resolved. Bless you for trying. Filakia

My dearest Demetrios, Thank you for your wise words - I believe that in your voluntary role as peace maker, you mustered the strength to go on - even though it may have been taxing when you didn't have the strength and would have liked to have thrown it all in - My admiration to you as always stands...Maria xx

Spread love to every corner of their hearts and they will eventually see the peace and tranquility of your tender words my friend! Never quit spreading the love! I only share the goodness of my heart, so that others can feel the love that I feel for them! My friends mean the world to me, and I wouldn't give them up for anything, my friend! You are the most kind individual, thank you for all you do for this site! I care for what you say and do, it means a lot to me! Great Work on this epigram!!

Eventually is the key word my dearest friend, Russell! God is very patient and forgiving and it gives time to everyone to realize that Love is the answer! Hope they will realize it sooner than later! God bless you! Thank you so much for your superb comment!
