During WWII, one often saw, "Kilroy was here", but now, "Kill Joy was here" seems to be popular . . . .Enjoyed the read! Aloha!

I remember my mom and dad talking about Kilroy and drawing the little figure. I believe you are correct in your Kill Joy analysis :) Thanks for stopping by Rico! Linda Alice

Yes, we ridicule the ideas of martyrdom then believe we are earning points by eschewing joy, fun, pleasure! Elizabeth

Self inflicted sorrow can kill joy !No one can save such a situation when a person prefers to dwell in a world of gloom. Great ninette, Linda

we are our own worst enemies at times, are we not? Sometimes, God even turns us over to our heart's desire, even when it may nearly kill us. good ninette

Yes, we are Jeff. We must stay true to ourselves and not give in to negativity. We too often victimize ourselves. Thanks for your visit and thoughtful comment. Lind Alice
