GOOD MORNING MESSAGE #84

Being good is not enough, you have to be nice too.

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 #80‘.

Good morning Friends,

So you are good but are you nice?
Do you try to be, with people, polite?
Does your goodness come with a price?
Are you, with them, too forthright?

With stress on ‘essentials‘ on the net,
Such courtesies are now things of the past;
No one says ‘please’ and ‘thank you’ and yet,
Everyone seems to be having a – well – ‘blast‘.

We seem to be forgetting the worth of a smile,
That comes from one to whom we say ‘please‘;
On the net it may not be considered worthwhile,
But it sure comes like a whiff of fresh breeze.

Today, lets pledge to be nice and sweet,
In addition to being right and good;
And to all, on the net or in person, we meet;
Lets exchange courtesies as we should.

In this ‘fast’ world, lets just slow down,
And bring cheers on someone’s face;
Lets replace smile where there was a frown;
Life is not all about winning a race.

Try being sunny this Sunday and everyday.

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.
