Negative People Criticize

"Criticizing others is akin to criticizing God" "Moment we are critical of our critic we become a critic" Quote by Author ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Words pierce the soft heart, stay there forever Mind recollects them oftentimes in life Spoken words for lifelong give joy or tear Still criticizing others is in rife Feeling worthless, many tears often shed depression often ends in suicide Painful thoughts, existing as living dead If they did the same, wouldn't it hurt your pride You speak out of hatred, bloated ego He who can't praise is never respected Only if your habits you will forego, you will receive love, help, praise and respect For critical talks you're hated by all All condemn, in everyone's eyes you fall ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Bhagvad Gita 18.61 - The Supreme Lord is situated in everyone's heart, O Arjuna, and is directing the wanderings of all living entities, who are seated as on a machine, made of the material energy. Matthew 7: 1-3 Judge not, that ye be not judged. 2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. 3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? 25.06.2021 For Charlotte Puddifoot, Contemporary Sonnet contest Syllable count checked at HMS

In fact, I had gone through this work, though I did not comment at that moment. 'For critical talks you're hated by all All condemn, in everyone's eyes you fall" This, indeed, is very psychological. Congratulations!

Oh well said Rama. I know someone just like that. He never has a good word for anyone. Great job here and love the Scripture verses. God Bless, JB

Well said Rama, I’ve been subjected to insults and criticism throughout life and it hurts more than the negative critic could ever know… Best wishes, Belle

Though constructive critics help us improve, many do it intentionally to hurt others... Powerful poetry...

Good one. If a child lives with criticism they grow up to criticize. Your lines read like a winner to me. Way go go. Thanks for the visit to my page. Sara..The Bible says in Jesus words, "judge not, for by that you will be judged".

Yes, Jesus had it right. It is hard to hold our tongue sometimes but we do some judging sometimes which is not a good thing. Sara

Well done, Rama. In a society of tolerance, unfortunately we must accept the good with the bad. The reality is we all have faults. Negativity is no worse than dishonesty, pride, greed or any other human flaw of which there are many.

The word is a blade a sword used for good or evil, wish we would realize how the impact would affect another long before it is spoken, Nicely penned dear poet. :)

We should think before talking and always say positive things. Better to remain silent than to criticize. Thanks for the compliment. Have a wonderful weekend.

Fantastically written poem; some people have unpleasant words and expressions that impede progress; it's always preferable to maintain our boundaries from bitterness and criticism. Good luck with the contest, my friend.
