Wow Mariaki! I love these lines:

Instead of listening to vicious criticism

Rise above the noise and cynicism

Isn't it ...
... how we take it ? - sometimes it's with big surprise that I've made it through but, afterwards, don't ask me why - or - if you ask I could say: It just happened that way -  - genio

 Even If your true to yourself, you will not be accepted by the world.  I don't think you want the worlds acceptance. Worlds values keep changing and getting worst.

Mariaki
Rise above - that's most definitely what we must do and each day you provide us with a poem that reinforces the power of postive thinking.  Bet you'd be an uplifting person to hang out with for a day  (in that Cyprus sun)....

Wonderful and so uplifting
But I must admit my answer to the second stanza is too often "yes" . Thank you for this, dear friend - it makes me want to try.
