I often wonder what forces must converge for perfect love to blossom. You gift us with a poem that expresses this beautifully.

Is honesty the best policy in a cruel world?

THIS IS THE 200 000TH COMMENT ON “MY POETIC SIDE”
My comments on the poem \"Is honesty the best policy in a cruel world ?” by shruti14
The poetess questions the wisdom of showing honesty in a world that probably cannot be trusted. Thus, giving away one’s true feelings might be dangerous. In telling all about us we are exposing ourselves to danger : others might exploit us or even endanger us. Saying all without restraint might be courting danger. Honesty cuts both ways : it is something noble but might also turn against our interests or even our security.
“The world, a harsh and heartless place…” The poetess fears that the world might lash back against those who took the risk to bare all. Should we resort to honesty or is it safer to wear masks to protect ourselves from those who might do us harm ? The poetess questions whether it is worth it to trust honesty blindly.
Though we are prisoners of this world so cruel and dangerous, we should not give up kindness. Soman Ragavan. 12 August, 2023. //

Interesting analysis... but the worrier can USE those worriers as a warrior. You know, some warriors are natural at it... some of us have to take those worries and get up the courage to do something!

Lovely message, lovely imagery, and a steely-eyed look at reality. Sadness can be so beautiful when handled with care. Thanks you!

Is honesty the best policy in a cruel world?
jarcher54 said:
I really appreciate the sincerity of your poems. Walking us like a kind guide through your thoughts. The older I get the more gentle, generous, and forgiving I become. To make up for my impetuous youth maybe, and to soften the edges ever so slightly of a world that can be cold and cruel.

sadly, we yearn to grow up quickly as children
then wish we were children again
when we become adults
bombarded with responsibilities and bleak horizons
I think, neither is wrong or right
it\'s natural to yearn for what we think we\'ve lost
in your writing, you repeat the word \'once\'
and that\'s more telling i think
because in thinking of tomorrow and yesterday
we often forget to cherish our today
so maybe that\'s where we begin
each day
finding something to celebrate
a meal, a show
or doing something we did as kids
and finding a grown-up equivalent
and little by little
teaching ourselves how to make the best
of our today\'s..
(lol
thanks for sharing
sorry for the lengthy reply)

A defiant curl. What a great way to announce resilience. I like your words and your phrase. Your use of”once” is a strong conveyance. Maybe strong enough to serve as a method to strengthen the end?
…,,made her feel fearful More than once.
It pays homage to the great theme built, perhaps?
No matter. I liked it.
Nice write good read
