The only "negative effect" of that poem was to make me speculate that it's
author should "Lighten up" too.My point being that the author of the poem
portrays a contemptuous viewpoint regarding the spiritual searches of
others. Some folks, in fact a majority in my experience, first have to look
out wards before they can look inwards without total self-absorbtion, also I
think the author should remember that in spiritual searching their are many
paths and all of them are valid for those whose proper pathways they are. I
also cannot help but wonder from what perspective the author presumes to
rate other peoples searches in such general and sarcastic terms. I didn't
take it personally because all the Gods know I am a Theosophist and we are
all above personal things. <grin>
