Only Excellence Commends Excellence

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder But only elegant people can have beauty in their eyes Only great people can compliment another And bad ones see with eyes that is sly Trying to judge using their own ways on others Seeing not any compliment no matter how you try But nice ones have eyes that see further Knowing what the empty page implies When complimented, know the complimenter is excellent too Because he's seen through the hue She's left the spoilt and picked the good Only a thieve can predict a thieve Clothiers best know the quality sleeves And only weavers see through the best weaves Scorpions never compliment but sting Empty barrels only tink But lovely people give you wings thanks to Dalia for the inspiration...

I like the thoughts which you have shared with us, WS. Some people look only for faults; others look for the good points. Even one word of encouragement can mean a lot to those who feel down and worthless. Thank you for sharing! // paul

It takes one to know one, as they say, dear White Sage. The good projects good and the evil projects evil! A man with a beautiful soul sees beauty everywhere even when there isn't. We have to focus only on these people for to "...give them wings" as you say! Beautiful write!
