Other People's Feelings

Other People's Feelings

Just listen.

Steer clear,
especially if you've got
the fix.

It's much better
not to go there.

Feelings are sticky
and you don't want
to handle them.

There's even a chance
you'll catch a fever,
from the chill.

Really,
don't go there.

It's all headaches
hot potatoes,
and broken glass.

Let me know
how it went.


The aim of the wise is not to secure pleasure,
but to avoid pain.
~ Aristotle

A person often meets his destiny
on the road he took to avoid it.
~ Jean de La Fontaine
