Putting yourself
first
doesn't mean
putting others
last.
" If you’re not the
hero of your own novel,
then what kind
of novel is it?
You need to do
some heavy editing.”
Terence McKenna
" A gentle answer
turns away wrath,
But a harsh word
stirs up anger. "
Proverbs 15
Linking to
You cannot kill nastiness
with kindness
unless you
really ARE kind.
No one wants
to be corrected,
or instructed
by a stranger.
But most people
are calmed
by gentleness
and restraint.
Why escalate
a trivial slight
into serious trouble?
Because when you do
stand up to someone
you have to be prepared
for whatever they bring.
Like war:
use only when
Absolutely Necessary!
I can have
a shockingly
short fuse.
That's why I
write these things.
How about
YOU?

ReplyDeleteInteresting fence shot, had a sort of textural feel about it. - For me it depends on the situation as to how short my "fuse" may be.
