tired

Am I alone in being tired of the badmouthing going on ... ?

Politicians, media, movie stars, just people

 cannot keep their mouths shut and say nothing.

My earliest lessons in life were 1. children should be seen and not heard.

 2 If you can't say something nice say nothing.

I can remember biting my tongue not speaking because nothing was better.  

I knew it and I had this guide line to follow.  Thank you Mom.

Beyond this I have learned

we have such freedom to voice out thoughts, our opinions, 

but is this hurting 

or helping us.

So often when we speak out we are trying to change someones opinion 

to our way of thinking.  

Who made us god?  

What makes us  "right" ?

Maybe accepting the world 

and our family and friends as they are 

and allowing them to find their own way is the way.  

Time and again I find that I am guilty of this.  Lesson ongoing......
