Slinkie People / Click To Donate

TODAY'S QUOTE:
Some people are like Slinkies... Not really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.
Author Unknown

I would never do the deed, but that did not keep me from laughing at the sentiment here. It is far above my ability to judge anyone useless, yet human nature being what it is, I bet each of you can name someone this quote instantly brings to mind. It is a sad fact that some people do all they can to be unlikable.
Some you can simply avoid; for the ones you cannot it is always up to you how much brain-space is rented to them. Arguing, only shows you are sharing their unhappiness. And that seems to be their only aim. Displeasure is the infection they give to you. Unhappiness is their God, nobody is allowed to feel good, since they feel so bad, their only joy comes from making others squirm.
Silence is a powerful weapon; nobody likes talking to themselves. A huge smile dazes and confuses anyone, expecting a frown. You will fail at times and feed them some joy, but always resist the temptation to shove them down the stairs, no matter how much you would enjoy watching them bounce.
Try to remember that somewhere, too deep for you to notice is a grain of goodness. With gentle tending, by the ones who refuse to feed their unhappiness, it may grow enough to change their attitude. If not then it will certainly alter yours.

Every Human Heart
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
The line separating good and evil passes not through states, nor between classes, nor between political parties either, but right through every human heart, and through all human hearts. This line shifts. Inside us, it oscillates with the years. Even within hearts overwhelmed by evil, one small bridgehead of good is retained; and even in the best of all hearts, there remains a small corner of evil. It is impossible to expel evil from the world in its entirety, but it is possible to constrict it within each person.
