True, my Mother-in-law used to say the same thing. I just love that quip of truth!

Such a fine tutorial. I'll remember to get my facts. Everyone deserves to give their side of a story.

Fine words, Deb, and bang on the money. The only valid comment on a poem you don’t get, can’t figure or simply don’t like is ‘no comment’. I feel much the same about blogs although, as blogs are more directly conversational and sometimes confrontational, it can be more difficult to bite one’s tongue. ‘Peace, man’ ;-)

Deb, your poem delivers a timeless and powerful reminder with clarity and simplicity. The imagery of the “three fingers pointing back” is an effective way to encourage self-reflection before judging others. A thoughtful and meaningful piece!

Dear Deb, how true this poem is! Judgment comes easily to people who are shallow. A deep person would never judge, because a deep person is an emotionally wise person too. Best, Anne

Children’s games are ill suited to adults. “Point” well made, Deb.

Hi Deb, It takes some time and effort to understand what motivates our associates. As you say, always better to be kind and understanding and to be very careful when leveling any criticism. I know I certainly have plenty of flaws....but at least they are textbook perfect flaws! Smiles!!!
