Why does it seem that we can never truly be happy for others. When we hear that someone who is over 60 has won the lottery then it's what do they need it for they're old. Or we hear that they plan to invest it then it's I hope that they don't lose it all. But really don't we hope that they lose it all? Aren't we wishing to hear sometime in the future that they lost it all. So what they are in their 60's does it mean that when we get to a certain age that we don't deserve happiness? Why is it that misery truly does love company?
A friend called me awhile back complaining that the new guy she was dating was always bragging about his paycheck. But not really bragging just being thankful that he earned a good income and that he would have extra money to do something with her that weekend. She said that it got on her nerves. So what he had a lot of money she didn't want to have to hear about. It didn't make her mad that he was always bragging. She didn't need to hear that all the time. No it made her mad that she wasn't able to brag about her paycheck. Because I know for a fact that there have been many occasions that she has called to tell me that she has had extra money to do things and I have been truly happy for her. I on the other hand am happy to hear of someone that can brag about their paycheck and be truly grateful for having a paycheck especially nowadays when people are still out of work wishing they had a paycheck. I've always heard that when you put other people down it is because you don't love yourself or are not happy with your life. I hope that someday, soon hopefully, that we can all learn to love ourselves and maybe all this bullying can stop.
I know I am getting off the subject but not so much. Parents need to start teaching kids about loving themselves and treating others the way they want to be treated. There was of course bullying in my day we may not have all been affected by it but we have all seen it happen. But when I was growing up there was just one or two main bullies and they had their usual picks. Nowadays bullying is synonymous with breathing. Everyone is doing it and some are even proud of doing it. I know I don't have a lot of followers I just ask that the ones that do read my blog teach you kids about loving themselves let them know whenever possible that you love them and that they are worthy of being loved and the next time you decide not to be happy about someone else good fortune think about how you would feel if it were you wanting to share some good news with someone that was close to you and that person was jealous and spiteful.
Remember the Golden Rule. TREAT OTHERS THE WAY YOU WANT TO BE TREATED
