or are they? You know that saying, who needs enemies when you have friends like these? Well that’s what I was thinking about when I wrote about having Fair Weather Friends.
I think if I had this conversation a few years ago, I probably would have either taken the bait into the hate fest or I would have just said nothing and nodded my head. I think with age, I have gotten a little impatient with games. The emotional games we play. I hate to see how some people seem to thrive in the misery of others and they try to pull you in with them. Do you know people like this?

I know some people like that who seem to think that if they feel bad, the only way to feel better is to make others feel bad too.
I wish I could show them that it’s actually more beneficial to make others happy rather than sad!

I agree, Alan. Also, I don’t know why more people haven’t realized how draining it is to spout so much negativism. If they just find something nice to talk about, they will find how much more energized they feel afterwards.
