The Good And Bad Side Of Life
The following are examples
Of how I look at the good and bad side of life
Peace is good... war is extremely bad
A thriving economy is good... unemployment is bad
Coexisting is good... confrontation is bad
Smile after a quarrel is good... frowning is bad
Wishing someone a great day is good... failng is bad
Forgiving someone is good... holding grudge is bad
Drinking is good... under the influence is bad
Always being happy is good... being sad is bad
Growing old with grace... growing crochety is bad
Helping friends is good... refusing help in need is bad
Sharing your good fortune is good... hoarding is bad
Are you convinced yet? No? Here's more...
Hugging your wife is good... neighbour's wife bad
Smiling broadly is good... frowning like an ogre is bad
Telling people you love them is good... correcting them is bad
Being gracious to people... a habitual grouch is bad
Honesty is good... deception is bad
A smiling waitress is good... grouchy servants are bad
Being truthful is good... deceiving people is bad
Good advice I'm giving freely is good... lying to you is bad
There... I've said my piece!
That's the good and the bad side of life!
