-Vindictiveness


Vindictiveness disguised as kindness

Is still vindictiveness

The true intent often seen through honest eyes

Hard to find those honest eyes these days Deb. "Trust no-one" is the message of today - sad. :)

What a shame that the honest and kind are most often the victims. The unkind are born this way, or, have become bitter in life for some reason or other. Vindictiveness, spews out like poison , but hidden behind a kind smile or gesture, always unmeant. Great Free Verse. HUGS, BLESSINGS, Jennifer, jENNIFER.

Very wise words, my dear friend. So much hurtfulness when we could just forgive and let love flow through us. Smiles ~ Blessings Bill

I suspect most of us have seen or experienced this, Deb, and I hope saw it for what it was. Nicely penned. Terry

But vindictive intent is often not seen by those with trusting eyes. It's a lesson that so many of us learn the hard way. I know I have. Take care, Deb. Cheers from Canada.
