Hey y'all! I realize im new but ive just kinda jumped in here. In doing so ive met so many sweet sweet people thus far! I am happy to learn that there is a personal side to this and not just a Q/A type board.
The past few years have been difficult, without just sharing my entire life, but just recently ive run into areas where i wonder is it best for me to "act on" something when its something that being done thats just not right (but not really my business...well, kinda it is but not directly) OR is it best to leave alone, let it drive me insane and potentially slander others or at least make them look bad?
I know this is vague....and actually it relates to a couple issues going on BUT heres an example i can share. Have you ever known someone, coworker, whoever, who just BLATANTLY lies, sometimes for absolutely no reason? Who cares right? What if they are just blatantly making stuff up about you or your friend, family memeber, etc? OR they take something that MAY have happened innocently enough and ran WILD with it by the time the story came out of their mouth? Its craziness to me, i dont understand it and I think a lot of the people who do this really have some type of dillusional mental deal or something and need help so you've looked the other way for a really long time but NOW its affecting YOU personally, your family even possibly...
So guess in a nutshell, if someone was slandering your name, for the purpose of lets say attention in this case (attention for them emotionally as well as even financially speaking on occassion - yes its sickening!) would you turn a cheek as mom taught even if it continues? And if you do bring it to whomevers attention to clear the air, would they even believe you since the liar has such a repore and is so "sweet" seems impossible and frustrating so then what?
Just curious, I would LOVE LOVE LOVE any help! :-)
