INSECURITY
insecuritygnawing away their insides
turns to nastiness
(Senryu)
If someone does not approve of certain actions of a person, does that mean he/she HATES that person?
Labelling others as HATERS, MORONS, LOSERS, IDIOTS, IMBECILES, etc., merely because they may not approve of the actions of a person is childish, immature and reflects a certain measure of psychological insecurity.
If you do not agree with the views of others, then criticise their views logically and constructively rather than resort to name calling and deragatory remarks.
(Some of you may be familiar with Haiku.
It's a form of Japanese poetry consisting of three lines:
line 1 - 5 syllables,
line 2 - 7 syllables,
line 3 - 5 syllables
Haiku deals mainly with Nature.
Senryu has a similar format but its focus is on human behaviour.)

Prepare yourself to be clawed
Can’t see right from wrong
I cannot imagine a world were every one was kind and accepted everything for how could we learn from bad if we did not have it.
Peace comes from within first i reckon.
hope you are well
"maybe I m looking at the situation wrong"
No, you are not!
I think you have a healthy approach to verbal interaction on the blogs.
“Name calling is not a CRIME”
I agree!
But I think that, among adults, it is a reflection of their psychological insecurity.
Thanks for your kind comment.
Great Senryu!
How are you? Keeping well, I hope.
I must admit I did not make the connection initially with exred and redex.
Glad to see you back!
Thanks for your comment.
Thanks for reminding me of “imbecile”.
Yes indeed, it is a certain blogger's favourite label of others.
I have added it to the blog.
Nonsmoker was also called a moron by the same person.
He's gone now.
I enjoy reading different viewpoints and increased understanding of those viewpoints.
We are all a work in progress...we don’t grow if we shut out communication, whether we agree with them or not.
Just because someone disagrees on something does not them classify them as a moron or an idiot.
I often enjoy your input on various topics...we may not agree about God but I respect your opinion and your right to it.
I would hope for the same....we all hope for the same.
Otherwise CS would be a very stifling place to visit.
One word is missing "PUNK" I got this name in 2015 !!!
I never mastered Senryu but maybe have another look. However a Hauku for you corrections gratefully received

Wishing you well
I don't have an issue with people who believe in a god where that god represents goodness and kindness and puts humanity first.
But when people use a god for their own misanthropic agendas, and use a god to try to justify their own unnatural prejudices and bigotry, then I have a problem
It’s difficult with so many divergent opinions, but I do believe as adults we can share ideas without getting into a mud fight.
We don’t only connect as singles, we connect as full persons with varying life experiences/backgrounds and a wonderful forum to share such differences, always with an open mind to learn something new, as another poster stated.
"Some people are "right fighters” regardless of who or what it costs them."
I assume your use of the term “right” refers to right from a political perspective and not from an ethical perspective.
“We are all a work in progress...we don’t grow if we shut out communication, whether we agree with them or not.”
Great observation!
I do not think the labeling of others as HATERS, MORONS, LOSERS, IDIOTS, IMBECILES, etc., was done in affection.
Glad to see both of you
I sent you an email with my comment on your haiku.
Say for instance if you and I were having a conversation and I say you were wrong and you thought that you were wrong and we continues to argue about whatever it was and you refused to admit that you were totally wrong and even though you were actually proven wrong.
No socrates44 I'm not speaking in political related terms at all.
Say for instance if you and I were having a conversation and I say you were wrong and you thought that you were 100 right and we continued to argue about whatever it was and you refused to admit that you were totally wrong and even though you had been actually proven wrong.
Thanks for your response to my last comment to you.
If, as you say, someone was proven wrong and he/she refuses to admit he/she is wrong, then perhaps,to that person, it is the validity of the proof that is questionable.
Oh my eyes.
Welcome back, EX. We’ve missed you.
There are times when I still don't understand of why some people think that naming calling would still be necessary.I could never ever comprehend of why some people just refuse to sit down and discuss things in a rational civilized way.
Sorry Socrates for using your blog
Hello! To You. Welcome back.........
