Some I think do it as a power thing, maybe they were raised that way, maybe a diversion to take attention from themselves, or maybe they are just not nice. We really could make this world a much better place if everyone was a bit more compassionate. If the media would promote compassion the way they promote their current ideals, maybe society would catch on!SuziCatehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04025931724313344438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3677172151591739382.post-47793610376207837602010-12-07T19:43:56.701-08:002010-12-07T19:43:56.701-08:00Thank You John, Downsizing and buying a Mobile Hom...Thank You John, Downsizing and buying a Mobile Home is the way to go my Friend, it gives you more time to spend with your wife and as you mentioned a longer walk with Jesus will give you the proper perspective on life.<br><br>Glad you enjoyed the post my Friend.Jimmyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11676883070882757501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3677172151591739382.post-19218349489096960742010-12-07T19:43:42.196-08:002010-12-07T19:43:42.196-08:00Hey Becca, I would so much rather be inside a trai...Hey Becca, I would so much rather be inside a trailer house filled with love and family than a mansion filled with hate and resentment, nothing trashy about being happy.Jimmyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11676883070882757501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3677172151591739382.post-5802695744621181962010-12-07T19:43:09.215-08:002010-12-07T19:43:09.215-08:00Yes Linda, It pays to be nice to everyone and I ag...Yes Linda, It pays to be nice to everyone and I agree with you on cutting the hateful ones out of your life, this part is not judgment it is actually experience in knowing what you want in life, being nice on the other hand goes for everyone whether you like them or not, because as you said we are all in the same boat on this one.Jimmyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11676883070882757501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3677172151591739382.post-42939513504058153322010-12-07T19:27:30.057-08:002010-12-07T19:27:30.057-08:00YOU--Are awesome.
