Grouchy People By Larry Chadwick There are those who have an empty heart, And lack any hint of a thing called sensitivity. Their lack of feelings for all others, Breeds a strong mood of intensity. After much consideration of the style, I think I finally understand what they’re about. They lack so much self-esteem, That they are completely full of doubt. It isn’t that they can’t be sweet, But their cup is full of other stuff. So when they treat you rude, Don’t bother getting in a huff. Just think of others, as they should, And remember why they act that way. Treat them as if they acted good, And hope that it may be today. |

Wise words, Larry. People who are intentionally hurtful to others almost always have a self-esteem problem of their own. I haven't mastered the turn of the other cheek yet but I'm working on it  |

Balladeer, This is a good thread for behaving. But that one you have going is pretty fun.  |

(smiles) Yes, yes, there will always be grouchy people we may confront in life, but as long as we all love each other and know who are closest friends are and respect each other, we'll all get together and establish harmony and can also win the hearts of others! (big hugggssssss) Sooooooo beautiful, sweet friend, your words are always so wonderful to read! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Larry, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

I don't usually like grouchy people, I prefer to be the one who makes one's day by making them do one thing which for sure can brighten up a day, by making them laugh, that gets them all the time Randy Meador a life lived unexplored is a life not worth living. |

I think the grouchy people are the ones who simply dont have what others do, and It's not thier fault at all, they just need somebody to talk to. |

Larry - true words have you written. At times one must wonder how some of these people live with themselves. Being pleasant is not that difficult... BC |

Larry I think you have many wise words here. People in glass houses shouldn't throw rocks. In other words, we all should look in the mirror now and again and see who we really are. If we are grouchy, then we should put on a happy face and snap out of it. Life is too short to be grouchy. |
