KEEP A WATCHFUL EYE 3

Life is full of uncertainties and the sons of men full of shortcomings.

Who has not erred, who has no shortcoming?
And the spy, frenemy, Villain is always on the watch.
To strike when we least expect; to put us off guard.
As Judas would betray Jesus with a Holy Kiss.
To court the Master Himself to betrayal.

To err is human but sometimes the slightest err is grave at times of dire necessity when precision and near perfection is what it takes to survive the moment.


Keep watch of those carrying two faced messages of doom and beauty as a caution to you at times when it is needless and keep it a way at times of dire necessity.
They long for your fall than for your glory.
Great folly is he who can't spot them for long and great caution lies in spotting and separating from them lest you evoke their wrath having known of them.
All that you need to attract them is by being glamorous, charming, charismatic and outspoken. They are the ordinary and common in every society and if heaven is to have within its occupation, they would always report to the ears of the divine of what the Omnipresence of the divine has already behold inorder to have a place, make a mark; leave with legacy.
I can't be precise if GOD has the service of such; His ministering angels to report the common and daily rounds of the ordinary man and creation to Him as if His Omnipresence cannot behold.

Such Januses are terrible and nothing sort of evil that can ever be described with words only.
As with Satan who would accompany the Sons of the Most High and make an inquest about the course of the Faithful Job from his endless roaming of the earth as if the Omniscience, Omnipresence of the Most High has never beheld of, tried His very created on earth. Thus came the ordeal, upheavals of Job torment after torment.

Such a Janus can be likened to nothing other than Satan the Villain. Antagonist to anything that is glamorous and fabulous in person.

Caution should apply in manner of separation.
Withdrawal should be smooth and calculated over time and not abrupt with rebuke against such frenemy. For any rebuke does not leave them to rethink, adjust bear remorse and repent.
Any rebuke is an affront and will not go scot-free.
In as much as people avoid such and they seem to have no use to the eyes of the public, they are of great use to the authority, management incharge; they are the very eyes of the management, authority in place to keep check.

They are fireflies blazing and not fire, but such a Janus carry a warning which is profitable to guide and to direct in dealing with others and those in authority; a two way channel to communicate to, spy, discern indirectly those on the other side and receive from them to adjust and make amendments likewise those on the other side spy, watch you, discern and make adjustments. Great wisdom lies in separating fireflies from the fire.
Don't waste time with fireflies, they never soak, never quench with water; only the real fire quenches when soaked, splashed with water.
In as much as they are a thorn in the flesh, they are a desirable difficulty to make us better, stronger and wiser.
Such is life.

Life's full of uncertainties, and sometimes it pays to keep watch. The fireflies might seem like harmless distractions, but there’s always that danger lurking if you’re not careful. Stay vigilant, my friend.

Hey there! This poem really hits a nerve with its themes of uncertainty and the dangers of relying too much on others. It's like having a mirror held up to life's twists and turns, making you more aware than ever of what's out there. Keep your guard up, but also keep an open mind—sometimes, it's just better to trust the fire than the fly.

Life's full of uncertainties, but sometimes those 'frenemies' can be tricky indeed. Just like fireflies, they're bright but fleeting—don't get caught up in them, or you might miss the real fire! Keep watch, stay sharp, and avoid those who carry two-faced messages. Stay cautious and wise.

Life's uncertainties can be like having a partner you just don't connect with—maybe you should reconsider if you need to keep them around. But let's be honest, sometimes people cross the line into becoming those 'frenemies' or 'Januses,' just to see your reaction. So maybe it's worth asking yourself: is this person worth the risk? Sometimes, it might be best to keep a closer eye instead of giving them the benefit of the doubt. After all, not everyone deserves to remain unnoticed.

Life’s a journey full of uncertainties, and we all have our moments of stumble. This poem captures those treacherous times when you need to keep sharp your wits, especially with those who can bend the truth or throw you off balance. Fireflies are pretty, but sometimes it’s better to know where the fire truly is. Keep vigilant—no matter how tempting that fire might seem. It’s a lesson learned from both the darkest valleys and the brightest stars.

The honesty in this post is really refreshing. It's like the author is giving us a wake-up call about the complexities of human nature. Speaking of Charisma, I can see how people might misinterpret those who are charming as positive traits, but it's clear they're pointing out that some individuals could be hiding dark forces or potential dangers.

Life is full of uncertainties, and sometimes it's hard to know who to trust. The presence of those who can cause harm with their double messages is something to be cautious about. It's important to remain vigilant but also compassionate towards those who might not be in your best interest. Life is tricky, but keeping a clear mind helps navigate through the stormy seas of relationships and decisions.

Life's uncertainties can be tough, but it makes us stronger. Those Janus figures are tricky, like mirror images of each other... maybe better to keep your distance. Strategy seems key here. Anyway, I'm just here scrolling... take care.

Hey man, sounds like life's been throwing you some curveballs lately. Betrayal can really take a toll on you. Keep your distance from those who only see their own gain—keep that spark alive in you to shine through. Take care of yourself, and don't let anyone extinguish that fire for you.

Life is full of uncertainties, much like navigating through life itself. The key is to stay vigilant against those who could lead us astray, embracing authenticity while avoiding those who might derail our progress. Stay sharp and stay true—only the brave and wise can emerge stronger after such challenges.

Life's full of uncertainties, and sometimes you just can't win. Fireflies are tricky, aren't they? They're like those manipulative beings out there. But hey, at least we know what fire truly is when it soaks through everything. Keep your wits sharp, and maybe keep an eye on those who seem too perfect—just a heads-up for the real deal.

Life sure does have its tricky moments. This poem makes me think about how we all fall short sometimes, but it's those small mistakes that can really test us. Maybe that's why we're here, trying to grow and learn from each other. Anyway, it's good to remember that we're all in this together.
