Comment from Debbie Pope

Excellent

Those are truly wise words, Craig. You might add to them (if you could use more than 6 words) "I need help." I might admit that I don't know but almost never ask for help, even when it would be wise to do so.
You need to get some help around your ranch and post more words of wisdom. I have been missing them.
This is a good entry for the contest. Good luck.

"I need help" is one of the three things a woman will never hear a man say. The others are, "You're right", and "I'm lost". At least, that's what my other half tells me, and she's always right :)

Thanks so much, Debbie. Most grateful.

Craig, This is a very well written six word poem you have penned for the Six Word Poetry Contest. That was very clever and very wise. Best wishes in the contest. Blessings, Teri

Great job with this. I was reading in my 'Daily Stoic' today that we don't have to have/share an opinion on everything. Let them wonder. Good luck in the contest. Marilyn

Sounds like good advice, Marilyn. "Always smile" is good advice too, I believe for the same reason :)

Cheers, Craig

Comment from SelenaWorthington

Good

Hi Poet, I enjoyed this, it is brief but you get your point across. Everyone is guilty of being ignorant from time to time. And who can see the whole picture. No one, really. And what might appear as deception to one person, will be truth to another. Trump is a classic example. Some love him, some hate him.

But no one can plumb the depths of another's heart and mind. Good poem. Thanks for sharing it, SelenaWorthington.

Absolutely true! We get in much more trouble if we think we pretend to know or think we know about something. It's much wiser to admit what we don't know and as I age, I realize how much I don't know! Great six-worder!

I enjoyed this write very much, CD Richards. They were very wise words with a great message. It's not a crime to not know something and admit it. Nice job and good luck in the contest.

Oh yes. . .to bad more people don't realize this. It could avoid them looking like a fool, it could avoid them telling a wooper of a lie, it could avoid them having to back-peddle when others start laughing (behind their back or to their face). Nice job with six little words. :)

Guess I know a few people who extend the truth. . .life would be so much more simple for them if they didn't do this.

absolutely -
unless maybe you're asking for directions. (smile)
No, really, an honest I don't know generally means no "bullshit" - if you will pardon my crudity.
A good 6 word poem with a simple, straight forward meaning.
good luck in the contest.
