It is these some that we need to guard against and keep away from. It seems that in recent times we have just too many of them around. Hence the need to be even more wary of them.Ushahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00179239922869639391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23042487.post-15648194097554071862008-10-29T06:51:00.000+05:302008-10-29T06:51:00.000+05:30A lot easier to handle if you remind yourself that...A lot easier to handle if you remind yourself that everyone has the right to their own opinion and if you learn how to ignore what they say enough to prevent it from becoming important enough to upset you.<BR/> I sure do not enjoy listening to the speeches from the two who are now running for our next President. I never did approve of slamming someone just to win. As my Mother used to say- If you can`t say anything nice, don`t say anything at all. And my Dad used to tell us that while someone is talking bad about us they are giving someone else a rest. <BR/> Nice post.Dotmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10223020957303815620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23042487.post-19749791021439612692008-10-29T06:44:00.000+05:302008-10-29T06:44:00.000+05:30A very true and thought provoking post.

May better sense prevail all around.<BR/><BR/>I remember one saying that has always haunted me through life - read it when I was in my teens. Do not remember the author. <BR/><BR/>The saying is "The more tolerant you are, the less you tolerate the intolerant". It makes me wonder how then do you get out of this vicious circle???J P Joshihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08806649492059145583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23042487.post-73280879433248480662008-10-28T12:31:00.000+05:302008-10-28T12:31:00.000+05:30Very true.
