As told to me by my best friend, who just happens to be a retired one star U.S. army general. And, one of the nicest people I have had the pleasure to know.
I was inspired by these rules and added a few others.
1. Don’t get personal.
Don’t stoop down to a level whereby you try to hurt someone with your personal knowledge of them, even if they are doing it to you.
2. Do not give advice unless asked for, or it’s an emergency.
3. Don’t worry about what you can’t fix. A tough one. But, it does seem to give those who live this way a degree of inner peace.
Don’t talk politics to anyone who’s position is unknown, or opposed to your own. Doing so only agitates both individuals, and convinces too few to change their minds.
Also, the majority of us are nice people, and there is so much to talk about that is not political.
Meanwhile let’s all wait just a bit longer and see what Alvin Bragg’s case is. Heaven knows the pundits have gotten so much totally wrong.
Peace and stay safe.
