Poem: Advice On Dealing With Some People Who Are Too Difficult To Like

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
📝 "What tips can you share regarding those whom you despise, 
While your dislike isn't just due to their lousy vibes, 
But you loathe them too since they've lied to you many times, 
Or you can't stand how they like to gossip and backbite, 
And being near them causes cheerful moods to decline?"
~•~
Visualize them as pesky flies. Each time they fly by, 
Depart from their vicinity, or when they're nearby 
Don't bother asking them questions on personal life, 
And never consider requesting for their advice. 
Lions do not require favors from insects to thrive. 
~•~
If you know their Facebook profiles, do not feel obliged
To check what they upload as most content could be lies 
Or they post snide insults aimed at you as deep inside 
They're jealous of you, and their envy can't be denied. 
Don't build connections with those on whom you can't rely. 
~•~
Avoiding toxic people doesn't imply foul pride, 
But you're shunning distractions, don't wish to be beguiled
Into committing wrongs which bar you from Paradise, 
And time is too precious to waste on what's not worthwhile - 
Time-wasters who leave you feeling "drained" or "uninspired".
~•~
If there are certain souls with whom you can't reconcile
As your differences are more vast than river Nile, 
Don't oppress yourself through bullying with undue spite. 
Maintain good manners like you were trained to be upright. 
Choose your close friends carefully without being unkind.
