MEANINGLESS

Words can 'mean' so much in shaping our outlook.

                     MEANINGLESS

Meaning - less

Take away the last, negative, three letters

and you will find that life will take on a different hue.

Long term view ...

life on earth will be more positive for you:

in building a future, think of what you can do.

Technology is at hand for forward thinkers.

Why not use it - take off the blinkers!

'Time and tide waits for no man ...'

There is time in a lifetime, to change course

Think not always of the worse.

Opportunity might well keep knocking ...

till you open that door - and see what awaits you!

Just a bit of concern for those going out into the big bad world.

It is interesting how words when broken down into syllables can produce entirely different meanings. The poet here has demonstrated this phenomenon with the word "meaningless." Her point is that if you take away the negative "less," you have "meaning," a much more positive word. She then expands on this example by explaining how we can improve our lives by adopting a positive view. She's right; what you focus on, grows. Good point made here.

i have a bit of concern for those going out into the world armed with so much technology, but often not a lot as far as social skills...and real touch with others.
this poem and its under layer expresses that for me.

In some cases its good - new technology but in some bad especially where the younger generation is concerned.

Technology is becoming my worst enemy Kitty so removing my blinkers will only increase my problems. As usual you have produced a great little message of interest and I loved it. keep them coming Rod.
