Give What Is Missing
12 January, 2007
Author: Barbara Goodhew
Give what people feel they are missing.
Then we won't get sick & tired of thier craving.
If they crave love, give love.
If they crave sympathy give sympathy.
If they crave attention give attention.
They get what they crave.
We get relief from their complaints.
The next encounter will be enjoyable conversation,
To GIVE WHAT is Missing.
------- Author's Notes -------
Some People are never satisfied but if we give what they need, once, then most are satisfied with that. |

| barb (67.58.206.144) -- Saturday, January 13 2007, 06:46 pm I have a friend that always complains about aches and pains I tried ignoring her but she would complain more.So when she camed to visit I showed an interest in her aches and pains and after she complained and I responded we talked about normal things our kids, tv shows, bingo halls. I learn ed from that. |
