Personal Level Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Sanctity of life is important, close to my spiritual heart,
wanting others to realize how attitudes and words they say
to another can hurt and even rip their souls.

People need to be sensitive and not annihilate another be-
cause of their own insensitivity, developing a keen sense
of identity with others.

Helping to be more compassionate and caring when dealing
with them, while talking behind another's back is never
conducive to any relationship.

It cannot survive on the same level throughout life, it
destroys a person on a personal level and tears them down,
an abusive way to get what they want.

A selfish tactic for sure, having something to say, going
straight to the source, telling another personally, tact-
fully, not after the fact when damage has already been done.
