It is termed as pride,
It is referred as exclusiveness,
It is summed up as withdrawal.
Whatever it may be observed,
A certain resolution is apparent,
A slight diffidence is felt,
A kind of aloofness is experienced.
Well, that looks interesting,
It is akin to a determined disposition,
It is similar to a non interventional distinction,
It is more or less a revered definition.
Likening it to a shining star is appropriate,
Alluding it to an embellishment is obvious,
Accepting it as a chaste demeanour is prudence,
Affliating it to a diplomatic policy is wisdom.
Calling it as adamancy is an intrigue,
Assailing it as high headedness is a fallacy,
Deriding it as a behavioural enigma is callous,
Concluding it as a deviant measure is a disaster.
The attitude varies from person to person,
A sanguine perception is regarded high,
A non intrusive temperament is found rare,
A sagacious discretion demands applause.

Reminds me of the line “discretion is the better part of valour…”
