[aggie49]

when something does not go the way it should i talk about it but sometimes you must put your foot down and take actions in your own hands i try to be nice to everyone i meet but some people are just down right mean so i refuseto be around them my parents always thought me if you got nothing nice to say then don't say anything at all

Keeping your mouth shut is sometimes the best. I know that it is hard to do. Peace of mind is worth a lot. Stand firm but be flexible. BMaston12

Not saying anything if it is not nice is not always easy.  Some people are bullies and need to be put in their place.  You have a right to stand up for yourself.  I try not to complain but unfortunately I do.  You are right in some people are down right mean.  A lot of people are mean.

I used to engage with nasty people but found it futile.  Outside of immediate circumstances that may be messing up their lives, lower intellect can cause them to be less than personable and any interaction is going to serve no purpose because it just doesn't sink into their heads. Now, I find them somewhat comical and try to focus on the positive things and people in my life. I remember working at a second job, a few decades back, and I had requested some information from a consumer. They went into a three minute tirade not allowing me to get in a word edgewise. I started laughing and the consumer asked me what I found so funny. I told her that I was getting paid seven dollars an hour to be abused and that in some circles people would pay for that particular phone abuse.  She started cracking up and apologized. Sometimes laughter is the best medicine for those that should be medicated!

I give it to God and ask him to handle it for me.  I am unable to handle anything on my own. When I try, I usually fail miserably. 

Each day has its own problems, so if you worry about tomorrow's or yesterday's problems at the same time that you're worrying about today's problems, you've multiplied them exponentially.

A moment of patience in a moment of anger can save you a hundred moments of regret. It's a beautiful moment when you can stay silent when the other person expects you to be enraged.
