Have you ever noticed how if you are with
a group of people and one person starts to complain, soon you have a room full
of complainers? I’m as much to blame in
the past as the next person for causing the domino effect. Like dominos lined up, the first that falls can
start all of the dominos falling. Do not
ruin another person’s day. My mom always said and still does, if you
can’t say anything nice, then say nothing at all. Try hard not to get caught up in others
misery. Misery might love company, but the company does not love misery.
You need to set the tone for the
conversation to a more positive note. If
a person needs to vent once in awhile, listen to let them get it out of their
system and then move on. Do not join the
party or feed it any more. I tell myself
to shut up and listen and bite tongue. No
one wants to join a pity party. If you
can’t change the tone, then you need to leave. Do not start the domino effect
or become company to someone’s misery.
Always pick happiness and may God bless you and yours.
