Always Someone Worse Comments

I think it's a fantastic idea for a poem. There's always someone who doesn't have it quite as good as you. It brings one of my favorite epicurus quotes to mind: 'Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.” I feel like you might have slightly overused commas in an attempt to add a pausing effect. Just a thought!

Think this is something we all should think about Jim! We need to count our blessings! ! Karen x

Really a Gem as I see the reality of life, I love this poem very much.

Jim>>>Words of stark truism, indeed....and you are rightabout takin you w/you, cuz, no matter how annoyed i get with myself at times, i can't seem to get away from the problem! lol! Solid crafting, Jim... ~ F. j. R. ~

I like your line 'you have to take you with you'. A sensitively written honest poem and a timely reminder to all of us. It's about perception, not reality. Some of the happiest people in the world are the poorest. Thanks for posting this Jim. love, Allie xxxxxxxx

YES Jim.. So true! Great Work. -Vonda

...spot on Jim, there's always someone worse off than you'll ever be -'brother can you spare a dime? '

Jim, that is very very good and honest and it gives off hope! ! carrie

What you have said is true. Always man is living on hopes of better tomorrow.

Thoughts of hope and thankfulness for what we do have. Nicely done Jim! .....Diane

Finely penned Jim, thoughts of hope.

A fine philosophy, jim...we often don't realise just how lucky we are. Top stuff :) Happy New Year jack :)

Nice work Jim, with a strong message...! ! ! Best, T.M..

This was an awesome write and very true. Sometimes when we're down and out and not quite ourselves we tend to forget that things can be worse, and that there is always someone worse than we are. A very good write....
