A Burning Desire to Retaliate

by shiningshiny

What can be sharper than any weapon? Words?  Yes, words, that can deport us to the hell of heaven, which 'fcourse is worse than hell for  it is hell in the guise of heaven, which sets us flying high for one moment, to be brought back down the next moment, with the next onset of words, when reality and truth dawns on us, clearing off the mist in the mind. Now while all are wondering what in the world I am talking about, let me tell you, I speak of hypocrites, I speak of those who 'think' they are witty, who 'think' they have words flashing across their brain, at their beck and call, who are painstakingly careful to plunge their weapon coated with superficial assurance, only to deceive straight thinkers, And push them into the world of misery, 'N to give themselves a little tap on the shoulder, when they succeed. Whoa! A heartfelt success of a hypocrite! Now I wonder in total bewilderment, why they are exceptionally elated, when they speak pleasing words just before their haughty, nasty blows. Should we call them witty for not realizing that the person in front, might as well be capable of such harm, had they not considered the feelings of others? When I see  one such hypocrite, I have a burning desire to retaliate, but react nonchalantly, for I know better than to be a hypocrite.
