Attitudes

It was a minor car crash, But they needed assistance. The woman refused to help. “Sheer lunacy,” she alleged, to trust other people. “Twill be the court for me,” she moaned as she viewed the wrecked ruined cars. She refused to help. He smiled, accepted the job and said a fond goodbye to her, never failing to see her face wrinkled in a thousand frowns. “How can you be cheerful and happy,” she muttered. “Or did I not care for him?” Oh he cared very much, but He learned from experience that he can only fashion his happiness, even if it meant parting from her. And frankly, he soon found out, that leaving her worked better than a wonder drug.

Oh the attitudes and demeanor of others will truly take a toll on us and somehow lead the way to how the day and our mindset will be. I found this entertaining and true to life. Thank you for sharing Victor. Have a beautiful night. Blessings now and always. (smile) PS someone needs to tell the woman she needs an adjustment (another smile)

It really never helps to be in a ill tempered way, it doesn't solve anything. Love the story, many blessings and hugs dear friend

" We live our lives in chains and we don't even know we have the key." Quoted from an Eagles song Already Gone. Sometimes it is the right thing to do when people do not see eye to eye. Well written Victor sent you a Soupmail my friend...

A bad attitude can find the gray cloud to every silver lining and a problem for every solution.

A person who does not support you is not worth bothering with and you're well rid in my opinion. Tom

You are entirely right, dear friend Victor. Since it is so challenging to be with someone who does not have a helping mindset, it is preferable to live alone rather than with someone who does not possess compassion. Sometimes breaking up is the healthiest option for both parties.

Sometimes parting ways is the best medicine. I hear your message, Victor.

It is so difficult to be with one who has no helping mentality and it is preferable to be alone than being with a person who is not humane. Right observation, dear friend....
