Thoughts about some of the “tags” people try to stick on us…

Intolerant

Unwilling to listen

discuss or entertain

Unaccepting of opinions

that differ with mine

~~~~~

Insensitive

Inconsiderate like

bull in china shop

Unfeeling of others,

Driven blindly by ambition

~~~~~

Judgemental

Pronouncing sentence

on those who disagree

Critical, censorious

Is how I’m seen to be

~~~~~

Dictatorial

Always trying to push

my own way through

Manipulating, controlling

Others never given a say

~~~~~

Unloving

Always looking out for number

one

Self-centred, self-opinionated

Uncaring and untrue

~~~~~

Can you see me

in any of these lines ?

I’m most surprised,

don’t recognise

the one I’m thought to be

~~~~~

So spare a thought

before you hang

your label on some-one.

And check it first that it’s not you,

that you are thinking of…..

It is sad that there are so many people out there like this. I believe in treating others how I would like to be treated. A very good poem, Alec.

yes we have met our share of people ,who just cannot think, and relate outside their own” box”

I agree with you 100% my friend. Especially when it comes to church folk and even church ministers who are supposed to know better they label a person without even knowing him/her. Even if they do know the person, we are supposed to tolerate.

Stereotyping or labeling is unfair. The first step to retraction is judgment.
