Virtuous and Unethical People

One of the worst things that

Could ever happen to a virtuous person 

Is to find himself under the authority of 

Unethical people and be, constantly, 

judged by them!

*Unfortunately, we see this phenomenon in all walks of life when power passes into the hands of evil people who wish to punish all those that excel in virtue.

Panagiota Romios Date: 4/29/2020 5:00:00 PM Lovely flower, meaningful verse. The world has to have rulers. In a democracy or a republic, we voters pretend we are ghosts and somebody else elected bad people? We have a lunatic for a gov in CA. No, I did not vote for him. But realize even non politicians can be tyrants Pamagiota cc Sillies ~ we did it, the egg is on our face.

Yes, we are responsible for the election of the people who govern us! Thank you so much for your gracious visit! Hugs xxx

Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart Date: 4/29/2020 6:52:00 AM Succinctly stated! Very insightful dear poet. Have you had enough of politics yet? ;), Love and respect, always <3 xomo Login to Reply Demetrios Trifiatis Date: 4/29/2020 7:38:00 AM My implication with politics was out of moral obligation: believing that I could make a difference but the system is so unethical. Here however I talk about the little dictators here and there who hold a position in small places but cause a lot of pain to many people. Thank you dearest, Maureen. Hugs xxx

Tom Cunningham Date: 4/29/2020 3:33:00 AM We see that time and time again Demetrios all over the world especially in countries ruled by tyrants and despots. I'm just grateful I live in a civilised country where I can vote and worship without fear of persecution. I feel for those who are constantly persecuted and imprisoned for their beliefs. Tom Login to Reply Demetrios Trifiatis Date: 4/29/2020 3:52:00 AM How true your words my friend Tom, however even in countries like yours are those evil people who delight themselves by causing harm to virtuous people just because they cannot be like them. Just look around...Thank you so very much for your visit and comment. Stay safe!
