In my previous posting (You ... and Me!), I referred to a poem I wrote a number of years ago.
My poem applies to anyone and everyone, whether from the eyes of a man or woman, young or old, artist or engineer, President of a company or nation, or employee or citizen, and so on.
Now I know a lot of people may be aware of this already. However, I believe there are also a lot of people who don't or may not, and in particular when they get angry: name-calling or bullying (however subtle) or the like. Sometimes we just plain forget...myself included!
There's an expression that there are four fingers pointing back towards you (yourself) when you are pointing at someone. I speak figuratively here of course, i.e., on a mental and emotional level.
So reflect on these words (below) with that in mind:
You,
a perfect reflection of me
A reminder of my own glory
as I see [slight pause] your inner and outer beauty
You,
a mirror
of my thoughts
my feelings
my desires?
Oh, how I am in awe of you
and thus me as you
You,
who reflect that which is pure and deep
and light and love and happiness
within me
You,
whom I cherish with all my heart
my mind and spirit
Thank you,
thank you for being you
and all that which you are
God bless,
God bless you
and thus me
as our spirits intertwine*
and become one
Wow!
I am in love!
I am in love with life
with God
with you
and thus me
Again thank you,
thank you for being you
and all that which you are. ©

So next time you are prone to judge and/or criticize someone, silently or out loud, think twice: is this a trait you dislike, perhaps even hate about yourself?
How do you tend to see others? With what kind of eyes?
