Joy And Disgust

Humans never fail to shock or surprise me When l think l have them sussed Human behaviour at its best or worst Fills me with both joy and disgust There is so much goodness in this world Kindness toward our fellow man Yet ,incredible selfishness and hate Impossible to comprehend I do not view life through rose coloured glasses I just try to focus on the positives and kind Not always easy to achieve If not …..l would simply lose my mind!

Ooh, people are not nice, I try to fool myself with that one a lot. Especially people who have wings.LOL. Be prepared for a knife in your back best done by ignoring you but smile in your face at the same time. Really zany people do this. My only allegiance is to God,my family and country.

There's so much beauty in the world and it only takes one moron to spoil it. Some people should be never have been born. And I'm referring to the likes of Putin and Hitler and I stand by my comment. Tom

I see a vast ceiling made of tiles engraved with intricate designs --- but one tile is missing. That's my focus, I guess.

It's not always easy to achieve on this site, let alone in the world, but focusing on the positive and kind will surely help us to keep from losing our mind. ;-) Deb

I agree just when we think we have it all figured out, we see reasons, more disappointments etc as much as there is good in this world, the selfishness and arrogance always leave me disgusted! Very well expressed dear debx. As always one that resonates deeply, sending you light
