Ranting and raving lunatic

 

Good pm sweetie, We have to pull together as a family unit. We need to focus on the importance of education, support, encouragement and the continuation of learning and teaching lessons so that we might better our lives, our health and our relationships. We have to keep our cool and wits about us and remind ourselves what we are here for and that is to grow, learn, challenge and teach. Is it not?  Others will say things about us to anyone who will listen when they carry a heavy heart and are unhappy in themselves personally. But, that is where gossip can be stopped. We have CHOICES. We can CHOOSE to listen to someone(s) and just let them "vent" or "share" things realizing we have all been in those shoes and keep those conversations private. We can CHOOSE to be supportive, understanding and even give advice without siding with either person. Even more we can CHOOSE to respect one another be the better person(s) and not feed into/reply to gossip.  Others CHOOSE to feed into temptation and spread gossip, break confidence, break trust, twist words, even make details up as they go along and use gossip as a way of hurting others in hopes of finding happiness. Its fleeting - it doesn't last and it hurts others deeply. I pray for each and every one of them as they have not yet learned their lesson but in God's time everything comes to light. We can CHOOSE to rise above this and not to allow this type of behavior to create animosity and anger. Instead we must CHOOSE to become more determined to become better individuals and let others know its not acceptable in a meaningful non-spite filled way. I know you are bothered by this as I am. I have been on both sides of this type of situation. I CHOOSE to be the LISTENER - the confidant. I CHOOSE NOT to spread gossip. Its unhealthy for me in my life and I CHOOSE to love unconditionally. You can CHOOSE to do the same.

Very well said.  Mo

 

what ???? hey im supposed to be the lunatic on here,lol its ok and im gonna take care of it, now dont get your tight tummy upset!! sometimes we all get in the mood to rant and rave, we are only human! try to take it easy today, have a good one, hugs!!

Judy , I must speak up here and say that while this board is for support . .. We all need to let this go . And if it bothers you , adress it to that person . Seeing all of these post only adds drama to this board . This board is for support ... and remember there is always two sides to every story .. and I feel that we need to let those that are having these issues get together and sort it out .  I think everyone looses in these situations ... We all have our friends .. our networks ... but I know for a fact that when the crap hits the fan with one of us .. the entire board rallys together ... and that is how it should be .  Will we all agree .. No .. will we all get along .. No .. but what we need to do is stop the pettiness and start supporting and encouraging one another ..  This is one reason I left th is board months ago .. and started at another site .. which I still post on .. and I can tell you . This type of activity would have been shut down really fast and not tolerated ..  I hope you all can just find it to move on ..
