Heart talks

a boastful heart

December 29, 2009

You always seem to know everything. You always seem to have the brightest idea. You can never go wrong. You always portray the role of the righteous one, the one who doesn’t have any mistake not even a pinch of error.

It was so easy for you to find faults in others. You’re very used in pointing an accusing finger if something went wrong. You have a great memory in remembering the wrongs committed by others but a hard time in keeping in mind the good deeds they have done.

You ardently speak of the wrongs committed by others; you say it straightforward to their faces, while there’s always hesitancy and untruthfulness when you verbalize their goodness. And the most, there always is sarcasm in the tone of your praises.

All these you perform as if they are part of your system. Just like the normal stream in a river. Like the thunder in a storm. And I wonder how you do it so spontaneously.

Is it because at the back of your indifferences is cowardice? At the footprints of your meanness are your hidden insecurities? At the tail end of your mockery is your true weakness?

And to these, I say…

I feel sorry for your boastful heart.
