RE: The airing of grievances

People are allowed not to like other people. It's how you handle that knowledge that determines now miserable or how enjoyable your life will be.

We all need to stop being so sensitive. I grew up with two kinds of family. In my father's family, you could hammer a nail in someone's head and they would just keep going. In my mother's family, if you forget to say goodbye--oh my heavens. Not only would there be offense, but you might never hear about it. You'd just get a cold shoulder for weeks, or maybe even forever.

I'm a little more sensitive than my father's family, but I'm really working on simply not noticing things. Life is so much easier if you don't notice offense. Most insults really can't hurt us in any material way. So why bother paying attention to them?

Good blog :)
