I Feel Sorry For the Fearful and the Haters

Those who hole up in concrete brains Miss much joy in the world Do they fear others’ opinions might have merit? Is this why they insist on blinders and ear muffs? I cannot imagine how much energy goes into hate. I hate this I hate that I hate the other And how many more muscles does it take to frown? I believe the most intelligent people are the flexible ones. Flexible in their thinking, willing to listen to others Willing to take chances, to risk something, to learn newness. I feel sorry for the haters and the fearful. Don’t you?

I too, dear Caren. There are such pearls of wisdom in your thoughts ! Some boast that they are hard like rocks.... never flexible. But the flexible are the ones fit to live in this world. They are receptive, ready to change, willing to take others'opinion and ready to forgive.

We are flexible because we have learned to live.

I also hold same opinion about Hater and Fearful. They lack in mental strength

They are so fearful, that is the problem, don't you think?

Yes, I do, Caren. I think about how much they are missing in life...like joy, peace, positivity, and the ability to mull things over and change if necessary.
