Had a small forgetful moment where I used the word pathetic, even in hindsight I stand by my usage. Fortunately the majority of people I surround myself with think in a similar pattern to me but on occasion a small thinker not interested in helping those around them swims the moat and sneaks through the protective positive wall I have set up. So what do you do?
YOU RUN THEM OUT OF TOWN AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. Not to be rude, just because their negativity can be a hindrance to your positivity and who wants that. Not me. See if people continue to accept mediocrity you are just as much to blame as the carrier of this hazardous condition.
