Good Morning World!!
“If you can’t say anything nice, then don’t say anything at all.” – Aesop
We’re living in a time where people think it’s perfectly acceptable to say cruel things to strangers online. Maybe it’s the false sense of security that comes with hiding behind a screen, or maybe some believe that being mean-spirited somehow makes them appear stronger. Either way, if someone hasn’t provoked you, there’s really no reason to speak to them with anything but kindness and if you can’t, then silence is the better option.
Of course, I understand the need to defend yourself, but sometimes the most powerful response is no response at all. When someone tries to tear you down, it often says more about their own unhappiness than it does about you. You’re living a life they might envy, don’t give them the satisfaction of thinking they can shake your peace. Let miserable people sit in their misery. You? Keep choosing joy.
Happy Tuesday!
