The Anti-Beatitudes

Quite simply, if on one side there is the beatitudes or the good that will be blessed there is also on the opposite side the cursed. These are some that I have crafted:

Cursed are they who do not step on toes; for they will never learn how to dance.

Cursed are they who speak with a megaphone; for they will deafen their own ears.

Cursed are they who photoshop their images; for they will never show their true selves.

Cursed are they who never read: for they will never learn to listen.

Cursed are those who preach but do not practice; they will never gain trophies but only wet whistles.

Cursed are they who thirst for power; for politics will drain them.

Cursed are they whose words are spears; for their heart will have no shield.

Cursed are they who are cold at heart; for they will set all else on fire to keep themselves warm.

Cursed are they who will not lay their lives down for others; for they will become their own sacrifice.

Cursed are they who will not draw swords to defend the weak; for they will be bled for their misdeeds.

Cursed are they who hurt others with humor; for they will become the joke with no one to laugh with.

Cursed are they who run from the storms; for they will never learn to dance in the rain.

Cursed are they who manipulate the cards; for they will have to play the hand they are dealt.

Cursed are they who place work before others; for they will have drinks with regret.

Cursed are they whose words have no sweetness; for their hearts will remain shriveled by salt.
