This idea of getting even is childish!

Last edited Tue Nov 21, 2017, 11:32 AM - Edit history (1)

There is pattern going thru the nation, where everyone wants to get even and say "see, they do it too"! This a children's game and it just might hurt someone that some lies were made up? Yes, there are those who are guilty of the improprieties of their own making! But, everything is a "get back at them" game and it is a very dangerous way of leveling the playing field!

There is an adult way of dealing with other people. It takes a little more effort, so maybe that is the problem. We are not only childish, but we are also lazy.

Save your time, intellect and energy for the "wars of necessity".

Everything else is ignorable or negotiable.
