Well like you said... Takes all kinds. You live your life the way you want to and others will do the same. Can't please everyone. I just try to be polite and friendly to everyone I meet. Others don't feel that way and that is OK. It won't stop me from being pleasant to others just because some people want to drag other people down or treat them like they are lesser beings.Originally Posted by Edwina's Secretary
I find those "quote snippets" can be very useful in how to live my life. "As you are to the least of my people, so shall you be onto me", "do onto others as you would have done onto you" "judge not, lest you be judged" "a stitch in time saves nine", "ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country." I find the wisdom of those who have lived before me useful.
And while I agree, I have never heard anyone get upset when wished "Merry Christmas" ...sadly I can say I have known people to be upset when wished "Happy Holidays." Those must be those grumpy people you are thinking of!
Although, the bible snippets you quoted is kind of what I mean by "quote snippets". One should read the entire 25th chapter of Matthew to get the context of the little snippet.
In the end, we won't agree on how everyone should conduct their lives. I will leave with a little snippet "to each his own". This little back and forth has been interesting but not overly productive
Have a great day
