The Good And The Bad Side Of Life

The Good And The Bad Side Of Life

The following are examples

Of how I look at the good and bad side of life

Peace is good... war is extremely bad

A thriving economy is good... unemployment is bad

Coexisting is good... confrontation is bad

Making up after a quarrel is good... refusing to discus the problem is bad

Wishing someone to have a great day is good... failing to do so is bad

Forgiving someone for a nasty insult is good... holding a grudge is bad

Drinking and having a good time is good... driving home under the influence is bad

Always being happy is good... always being sad is bad

Growing old with grace is good... growing old, ornery and crochety is bad

Helping thy neighbour is good... refusing to help a neighbour in need is bad

Sharing your good fortune with others is good... hoarding is bad

Are you convinced yet? No? Here's more...

Hugging your wifey is good... having an affair with your neighbour's wife is bad

Smiling broadly is good... frowning like an ogre is bad

Telling loved ones how much you love them is good... forever correcting them is bad

Being gracious to everyone you meet is good... being a habitual grouch is bad

Honesty is good... deception is bad

Thanking a waitress with a smile is good... treating her like a servant is bad

Being truthful is good... deceiving people is bad

All this advice I'm giving you freely is good... lying to you is bad

There... I've said my peace!

That's the good and the bad side of life!
