lost conviction of a good intention

your sharp points of reason
and blunt words of caution
though bearing good intention
were drowned by cynicism

.................................................................................
(after stories of IR's new-found love)

Everyone wants their views to be heard, respected and taken seriously. But to some, it's never occured to them that it's got to start from respecting others first.

It's not just what you say, but how you say it. When concern or good advice is presented in a rude, insensitive, sarcastic and cynical manner, it's only inevitable that the receiver loses focus of the intended message (regardless of its sound content), and shifts attention to the hurt they are inflicted with.

If that happens, could you really blame the receiver for dismissing your valid, well-intended advice?
