Defamation Comments

Rating: 3.3

Whey are those tears in your eyes, my child?
How horrid of them to be always scolding you for nothing!
You have stained your fingers and face with ink while writing-

Great poem pinpointing the general tendency of society, in general, to criticize others and defame for trifle reasons. A great classic indeed penned by a master spirit.

O, fie! What would they call an autumn morning that smiles through its ragged clouds? Take no heed of what they say to you, my child. They make a long list of your misdeeds. A fine poem, so touching.

You tore your clothes while playing-is that why they call you untidy? O, fie! What would they call an autumn morning that smiles through its ragged clouds? /// defamation comes when we defame others, when we give others the opportunity to defame, when our any activity gives other to defame us; if any person does righteous doing then no defamation shoulders on usually/// greatly written~ that's my understanding

An out standing sublimation of trifle acts of a child with their comparison with nature's marvels and their presentation.

this is actually the so called perception of society to every other human being for nothing, just always be judgemental in other's life....why to be? ANALYZE the things not the HUMANS...

To turn a child into what they are not is defamation of the soul.
