The Way That You
Feel About Yourself...
The way that you feel
about yourself is the way
that you treat others.
-Paul Whiting
(a.k.a., Small All White in the Forest)
"I am no barrier to its sun; the light and I are as one!"
My Writing About Who Is To Blame For The Way That You Feel About Yourself: The proverbial "they" are not to blame for the way that you feel about yourself; you are to blame for the way that you feel about yourself! Therefore, do not blame the proverbial "them" for how you feel: instead, figure out what is wrong with you (that is, what are your fears, your insecurities, your mistakes, your flaws, your wrongs, your misgivings, etc.), as a part of the larger process of changing yourself in order for you to do better in the future—and to stop blaming everyone else for how you feel about yourself. –Paul Whiting (written May 20th, 2016, revised September 18th, 2021, revised April 24th, 2022, revised April 25th, 2022 and revised September 1st, 2022)
My Writing About The Way That You Treat Others: The way that you feel about yourself is the way that you treat others. –Paul Whiting (written September 9th, 2016 and revised August 1st, 2022)
My Writing About Treating God The Way That You Wish To Be Treated By God: Your intentions for God are God's intentions for you! In other words, the way that you interact with God is the way that God interacts with you. And I think that is what Jesus The Christ was saying when He said the following: "Do unto others as you would have done unto you"; and "When you have done it to the least of these...you have done it unto me"; plus "Judge not, lest ye be judge"; as well as "For have I not said ye are gods?" You see, Jesus was explaining to us that we establish 'Godly Karma,' so to speak, through our intentions for God, and by our interactions with God. Phrased another way: "Treat God The Way That You Wish To Be Treated By God." –Paul Whiting (written May 15th, 2022, revised May 16th, 2022, revised June 23rd, 2022 and July 24th, 2022)

"Poetry is using the fewest words possible in order to describe all that is possible to describe." –Paul Whiting [June 1st, 2022]
My poems that are Haiku in their style—within which one stanza is composed of three lines, where each line has words containing five syllables, seven syllables and five syllables, respectively—are a lot more like Senryū poems in that the topic of these poems is typically about people, rather than the topic of these poems being about nature, as is usually the case in classic Haiku poems. And that is why I call these types of poems "Haiku-style." –Paul Whiting [September 19th, 2023]
