In Rememberance Of

Arrogance, sarcasm and suggestive wit,
Some people in this world I admit,
Think is so cool and fun,
But actually in the long run,
One day they go too far, and have to quit.

Worse than all qualities mentioned, is Harming others physically, who don't think our way. . Especially violence by groups acting like Hitler youth, pummeling other people and allowing only their point of view. It's the I will kill you if you don't think my way. Also, encouraging others to get violent. Scares me, Peace be yours, Panagiota

It's more a thing of are you so stupid you can't understand what i mean, and stupid is one thing i'm not! However everything is now past tense! Violence and Hitler are abominable, unspeakable and inhumane - - he killed millions, why because didn't want the Jews in Europe, so lets exterminate them - a shameful part of History. Thank-you my supportive friend. Hugs, Jennifer.

Hello Jennifer … well stated. With social media, it's best to ignore no matter how hurtful. Don't take the bait and it will stop - thank you Jennifer - Lindsay

It's also the arrogance - the few who understood the somewhat suggestive wit were the only audience that were appreciated hurtful yes, as i was nothing but polite and careful, but sorry, no, in fact very glad no more contact. Thanks for your kind comment Lindsay, Blessings Jennifer.

I understand Jen, but being a New England-er and Irish I was raised on wit and good Banter. I would never pick on somebody I didn't like, and love when some one can make me laugh at myself. But, I must admit one must know the difference between witty and rude. Good piece !

I agree with you Jerry, a good bit of banter is good, and being witty in a fun way is cool also, and yes, being able to laugh at oneself makes you a bigger person, however all totally different to arrogance and sarcasm which is the lowest form of wit - abhorrent.. Thanks for the visit and an apt comment. Hugs Jennifer.

I had a friend once who was very sarcastic, at first it seemed a bit of innocent fun until it just felt cruel. In that case to preserve myself it was me that had to quit the friendship. This poem caused me to ponder.

Sometimes the suggestive wit was too complicated for me to follow, (not that any did understand, just LOL!) and the sarcasm was often there. Thank-you Richard my friend, sorry you also experienced what I did, good for you, well done for quitting! Hugs, Jennifer.
