Focus It Within

– “You never criticize anyone.
People do it all the time.”
– “I have goals. No time to waste.”
– “Are you saying others have no goals?”
– “That’s up to them to find out.”
– “But criticism helps improvement.”
– “Sure. That’s why I focus it within.”
– “But what about others?”
– “I’m not their mommy.”
– “But you’re so intelligent.”
– “Which is why I know
I have no reason to assume
the world needs my intelligence.
It was here before me.
It’ll be here after me.
Meanwhile, I’ll stay true to my goals.”
– “What’s the harm to your goals here?”
– “A fly notices a toad in a pond; it says,
‘Stupid toad! Doesn’t learn to fly!’
That’s when a chameleon turns it into a meal.
Cost of distraction.
The toad notices it; it says,
‘Stupid fly! It would’ve been safe in waters!’
That’s when a python turns it into a meal.
Cost of distraction.
That’s what criticizing others does to us.
We get high on judging others;
and out of the blue
there’s no ground to come back to.”
