Shel Silverstein Blog question



Well, hey guys!!! I am back! Today, I'm writing a post which should had been posted like one week earlier. I shall begin writing.

Question : Which of the above poems can you identify with the most? Write down your thoughts on your blog.


My answer : Well, I identify the poem "Messy Room" by Shel Silverstein. Why do I choose this poem? It is because the point that the poem is trying show is indeed very true. Sometimes in life, we, human beings, tend to blame others first so fast that even we ourselves didn't realize it. When we get angry, we usually don't think before we speak. Harmful words can just come out like nobody's business. Some people are so thick-skinned that they won't admit lost until they die or maybe not. Through this poem, we have to learn that before we speak, we think first. And we HAVE to exercise what we say! Although it seems difficult but in order to maintain good relationships with people around us, we have to preserve through this obstacle. So next time, when you were about to blame or criticize someone, think about are you better than him. Think about it! Would you rather just spend a few seconds to think than spoiling your relationships with the people around you? It's your choice. Start thinking now!
