GOOD MORNING MESSAGE #178

Negative emotions don’t harm others as much….

From the first of June, 2018, I started writing Good Morning messages in the form of poems (Please read: ‘Good Morning Message #1‘).

The last such message was:’Good Morning Message #177‘.

Good morning Friends

We intend negative emotions to harm other men,
Anger, Jealousy, Envy, Hatred, and Cruelty,
But it has been proved time and again,
That these cause us more harm and anxiety.
You don’t punish people that you hate,
You actually invite for yourself ill fate.

Historically, no one has ever prospered,
By harbouring these kind of negative emotions,
People who have by the sword conquered,
Have also been victims of similar notions.
You don’t punish people that you hate,
You actually invite for yourself ill fate.

There is only one way to avoid their ill effect,
It is to replace these with forgiveness and love;
Rather than having your own life wrecked,
Try not being a weak hawk but a powerful dove.
You don’t punish people that you hate,
You actually invite for yourself ill fate.

If you love yourself you would never hate,
You’d never be angry, envious and jealous,
Your perceived hurt would not ever translate,
Into for seeking self-defeating revenge zealous.
You don’t punish people that you hate,
You actually invite for yourself ill fate.

….as they make your own life miserable.

I have done a long stint in the Indian Navy that lasted for nearly thirty seven years; I rose as far as my somewhat rebellious and irreverent nature allowed me to. On retirement, in Feb 2010, the first thing that occurred to me, and those around me, was that I Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (you will find an article with this title in this blog) and hadn't lost all my noodles and hence thought of a blog titled 'This 'n That'. I later realised that every third blog is called 'This 'n That' and changed the name to 'Sunbyanyname'. I detest treading the beaten track. This blog offers me to air 'another way' of looking at things. The idea is not just to entertain but also to bring about a change. Should you feel differently, you are free to leave your comments. You can leave comments even when you agree and want to share your own experience about the topic of the blog post. Impudent or otherwise, I have never been insousciant and I am always concerned about the betterment of community, nation and the world. I hope the visitors of this blog would be able to discern it.
