I Will Not Be Involved With Toxic People

Judged By The Company You Keep... It doesn't take long to figure out the "Who's Who" on EP. When I feel wronged, I instinctively want to vindicate myself but why try? It just adds fuel to the fire. I refuse to participate in that crap. I know the truth and will not even try to prove it to anyone else. Besides life is too good to involve myself with toxic people.

I always take the high road. My real friends know who I am and that I operate with integrity. What I will not tolerate are lies. I will not stay friends with people who carry tales, twist facts and play sides.

When I see that happening, I slowly back out. The shame of it is that there are drama queens and kings who love to make happy people look bad. Rejection is a powerful emotion and that is where a lot of it comes from. People need to take responsibility for their own actions.

That is ok.It is your karma not mine. It all comes out in the wash. Always.

"Practical life teaches us that people may differ and that both may be wrong: it also teaches us that people may differ and both be right. Anchor yourself fast in the latter faith, or the former will sweep your heart away." ~ Augustus William Hare and Julius Charles Hare

I like this simpler saying from Mark Twain: (paraphrased) always do right. It will please some of the people and surprise the rest. this is not a matter of chemistry or difference of opinion. It is when someone does wrong, is outed, and mad for it. They always point the finger at someone else. They need to take responsibility for their own actions. Since that doesn't happen, all i can do is block. AND I do..
i sleep with a clear conscience..I play no games in real life or online. thank you sweetie.

I concur - wrong is wrong. If they don't fess up to it, you need to take whatever action you deem necessary.
