Injured pride

We are proud of what we know
Proud of what we have achieved
We boast with pride
Woe betide anyone who hurts that pride
We react hurt
We strike back
Without realising
That pride is a relative of our ego

When we put pride aside
We become humble
Begin to understand
What hurts us and why
It is a bitter medicine
To break through the armour of our pride

Are we ready for it?
Are we ready to look beyond our minds?
Instead of clinging to pride?

God is love, not hate

God is love
Not revenge, not hate

When will this be understood
In all corners of the world?…

When will it stop abusing God
To kill, to hate in His name….

Hurt Pride

How often hurt pride leads to revenge?…

Praise and Criticism

 

 

The praise one has received
Is like a medal at the breast
It bears the name:
Give me something in return…

The criticism one has received
Is like an attached promissory note
It bears the name:
I give you something in return…

Acted kindness

 

 

 

Sometimes we make a show
Perform a play of theatre
Use friendly words
Pretend humbleness, respect

When life comes to test us
We lose self-control
Are hurt within speculations
React: hurting, punishing

Fired arrows find their goal
Through self-made illusions
Revenge onself for being “hurt”
Self-pleased satisfaction

Words of respect
Crumble, fade away
Reveal the true face
Unmask the show

Our mind has thousands masks…
