Why

Why do we let people get us down?
Turning our smile into a frown.

We should turn their frown,
into a smile.

But, no, we let what they say,
ruin our whole day.

WHY!

Hi barb

I know just what you mean here. Sometimes we should ignore what people say, but it gets under our skin -- and irritates!

i Apologize, allow me to put this more clearly..

Hi Barb, SORRY...that's what i meant by my second statement, 'bout personalities, those with negativeness , because of whatever their goin' through in their life's ,they want to blame everyone they come in contact with, instead of takin' things as a lesson learned.they try sooo hard to bring us down with them with their insecurites and unhappiness alone, they always manage to have some thing rude or inconsiderate to say , because they DO NOT want a person with a positive out look to feel happy. i apologize if i wasn't clear on this the first time...as a spiritual person,I've experienced even bad vibes and know where your speakin' from..hope that clarifies things?
