Rant Number Two

[Fay A.]

I have HAD IT.....

with mean spirited, unkind, arrogant people who think that pulling something over on someone else, robbing another of something or someone they value, and in general sucking the joy out of another's life is something to be proud of, when what they could be doing is giving help and assistance to those in need. There is a world of difference between feeling bad because something is missing in our lives, and actively resenting others because they appear to have what we want.

I have HAD IT.....

with those who resent the love and happiness of others, when what they could be doing is sharing in that love and finding (a different kind) of joy themselves. There's a huge difference between thinking "I wish I had ____." and thinking "Why do you get to have ____and I don't."

If we are sad because something is missing in our lives we need only look to helping those who have less than we do as a means of filling that emptiness (and trust me...there are plenty of people out there who are in worse conditions).

I don't envy anyone anything enough to wish them ill....I may say I want something, but I am not going to be so miserable that I wish YOU didn't have it, either. You doing without isn't going to make me feel good. It's going to make me sad.

I'm done....it's been a rough few days...

Sounds like in the last few days you've managed to run into all of them.... all by yourself... got to be a record.

Seriously, I think we've all had days where that's how it seems, where

"Enough is enough."

You rant very nicely.

You can be on my team any time, kiddo. Love your attitude.

Take a bubblebath, read a good book. Have a nice dinner. Do something for YOU.

Love ya, kiddo.

Oh Fay,

You are so right

I think them kind of people are better left alone. I really mean alone just stay away from them..I am not sure if something happened directly to you or not, if it did they certainly do not deserve your time. You most definately do not need that in your life right now....
