GOOD MORNING MESSAGE #110

People are unfair and ungrateful.

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 #109‘.

Good morning Friends,

So, you found people ungrateful and unfair,
And you concluded you’ve something unique;
Let me tell you everyone has one’s own share,
Everyone has come across such doublespeak.

We think of things from our own view-point,
People are hard-wired to think differently;
After years of our efforts they may disappoint,
By looking at our achievements indifferently.

Rather than being embittered and defeated,
It’s better to take such views in one’s stride;
No point in thinking of them as conceited,
Just go on maintaining silence that is dignified.

Those who already know need no explanation,
Those who don’t, explanation fails to impress;
There is never a reason for your frustration,
Never lose your cool ’cause of unkindness.

Maintain cheerfulness and keep your cool,
Lo and behold, your bete noire feels foiled;
He or she can try best but you’re no fool,
With criticism and let-down you ain’t spoiled.

I wish you today the art of being unruffled,
In the face of the selfish and the ungrateful;
That your positions would be aptly shuffled,
You as the loving and them as the hateful.

Maintain your cool with people.

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.
