When in doubt,
you lose out.
When done in vain,
you'll live like Cain.
When you deceive,
same you'll receive.
When you react,
it will come back.
When you complain,
they'll be no gain.
When you take life,
you'll live in strife.

Yes, I Agree,
that which you sew, so shall you reap. Aptly put words of thought.
Best of Luck

Amen to this honey
So true are our sctions and the way we are feeling today as I try to instill in the young for if they are unhappy then they should look to themselves not others for the peace and joy they so need .

Hello.
Wise words in this short piece, but then I didn't expect gibberish from you, hahah. I agree with what you say, and the underlying messages within them. Doubt, and thus thought; if you think defeated, you act defeated, and will be defeated. Vainity, and Cain, of course biblical, reap what you sow, get what you give. Complain is a victim characteristic, different from legitimate standing up and speaking out, and taking life; you have spelt strife wrong. I wish you well in the contest.
My regards.
Edit: And I spelt "spelt" wrong, hahaha.
