Let's Not Sulk

Not only the one who sulks does barely nothing, he also bums out the rest of his acquaintances, diminishing their cheerfulness and good will, strewing this distressing mentality among other folks, getting their minds infected with his contagious stress It's all but inherent in humans to mope now and then, yet there are fellows who do so too frequently; they contaminate other minds with their behavior, Thus they're giving rise to more mopers and so on; Let's not be mopers so that life smiles at us and we at her.

I can relate, I tend to pick up on other peoples moods. Therefore I must be careful to surround myself with positive people. Great poem filled with truth.

Love your truth here... I write light poetry like 'The Dragon Walkie', 'Midievel Camelot', 'Gone Fishing'... Try writing some.

I think maybe some people sulk and some people suffer from mental illnesses like depression and anxiety. As you well know those illnesses are not infectious.

Hi Ivo...the topic of this poem is one that I have not seen tackled on soup, yet. I agree with you; some people work hard while others try to get out of their duties...which is not fair at all. Had some like those at work and they make you see red!! very good write. cu around. // paul
