The Receiver Decides The Hurt. Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar

The Receiver Decides The Hurt.



The hurt hurled at one, when borne with toughness
Or with compassion, will have little impact
Like that of an axe falling on a rock
Or in the water instead of the wood.

The hurt hurled at one, when borne with smoothness
Or with emotion, will have deep impact
Like that of a knife falling on a cock
Or in the butter instead of the floor.
