Mind-boggling thought of the day

Mind-boggling thought of the day...I think that after traumatic, life changing episodes in someone's life; they would undoubtedly become a better person. With the understanding that life is to short to be downright MEAN. Unfortunately, some people take these negative experiences&turn them into a life of negativity, where they try to ruin everyone else's life, to make themselves feel better. I think people need to stop being rude & conniving towards others and let us all live happier lives!

I think impressing one's expectations onto others is unfair, its also the fastest step to disappointment. All people are entitled to make mistakes on our journey through life. In the words of Socrates, "Be kind to to everyone for they are on a tougher journey" (I'm paraphrasing)

Should they learn to be positive? Yes, but that's their lesson to learn.

That being said, we have full control over who we let into our lives and how close they are to us. That intimacy is the ultimate trust we bestow upon our friends. It is a privilege earned.

Positivity attracts positivity. Stay away from the negative. Misery loves company.
