What schools don\'t teach

I just had this conversation with a neighbor yesterday. Not one soul was born to hate...it is a behavior that is sadly taught. We adults should take a lesson or 2 in kindness and compassion from children. Great read!

You are right; trading awareness for comfort and becoming less human is what today\'s world suffer from. Very nice.

Tristan Robert Lange said:
Soren, this is a bleak and necessary observation. You move from personal isolation to cultural consumption without losing coherence, and that final image indicts complacency more than cruelty. Itโs a lament and a warning at once. Strong work. Happy New Year to you and your family, my friend! ๐น๐ค๐๐ฏ๏ธ๐ฆโโฌ

You portray the world with human-like qualities, describing it as \"deaf,\" \"blind,\" and having \"hearts too hard to feel,\" which amplifies the sense of isolation. Indeed, some people do become desensitized to beauty and treat others poorly due to their own bitterness. The metaphor of consuming Kobe beef highlights the superficial nature of certain pleasures. Your poem offers a critique of modern society\'s detachment from meaningful art and experiences, arguing that people prioritize consumerism and technology over deeper understanding.

I\'m charmed by this because your soul is everywhere on this poem, we have the same thoughts today although your talents are far greater in creative poetry than mine, always humbled and most truly honoured to take away something I\'ve read, putting it in my little pocket of reflection and inspiration. My dear sorrenbarret thank you. ๐น

Soren, this is a steady dismantling of moral comfort. You line up everyday images until association itself becomes the verdict. By the time we reach that final warning, it doesnโt accuseโฆit instructs. Strong, thoughtful work. Love it, my friend! ๐น๐ค๐๐ฏ๏ธ๐ฆโโฌ

Well said. Your poem revolves around the concept of \"guilt by association,\" exploring how individuals can be judged or held accountable for the actions or characteristics of those they are connected with. It questions the fairness of such judgments and emphasizes the complexity of relationships and perceptions.

Soren, this is a quiet tribute to labor and lineage. You trace creation from tree to shelter to inheritance, and by the end the gratitude is implied rather than demanded. That restraint gives the poem its strength. Thoughtful and steady work, my friend. ๐น๐ค๐๐ฏ๏ธ๐ฆโโฌ

Well written. Your poem explores the theme of labor and legacy, highlighting the connection between the physical act of building (specifically with wood) and the memories and lives that are entwined with that labor. It reflects on how each generation leaves its mark through hard work and the creation of spaces that carry the weight of history.

Soren, this is direct, uncompromising, and necessary. You weave ancient story into modern violence and arrive at a truth that feels almost too obviousโฆand yet still ignored. The refusal to sanctify borders or greed gives this real moral weight. Strong work, my friend. ๐น๐ค๐๐ฏ๏ธ๐ฆโโฌ

Your poem revolves around the concept of ownership, specifically the human tendency to claim land and resources, which leads to conflict and suffering. It critiques the notion of property and borders, suggesting that land, like air, should be shared by all rather than owned by individuals or nations. The poem draws connections between biblical narratives and modern conflicts, illustrating a long-standing pattern of violence and jealousy over territorial claims.
