Bad things happen. That's just a fact of life. The key is to not point too many fingers, not start a big fight, and to not carry it with you any longer than you have to. The fact is, any of those things will just make you - and the people around you - miserable.
The other night something inappropriate happened in my hometown. Being out of town on business, I only caught all of it on twitter. While the thing that happened was definitely serious and definitely one group of people's fault, there was absolutely no reason to fill everybody's twitter feeds with negativity. Sure, it was "their" fault because of what happened. But the "victims" who decided to spread stuff all over twitter or yell at the other people are just as much to blame. Nobody wants to have to deal with people arguing over something where there really isn't an argument.
Moving on, when somebody disagrees with something you say - that's okay! But if you disagree with someone you have to politely let them know why. There is no point in arguing when the other person has no idea what they've done wrong. People always do things for a reason. Be sure to not let reasons get lost. Reason, a cool head, and a forgiving heart will take you a long way in life.
Just remember to take the higher road. If someone has wronged you, forgive them. If something bad happens, leave it in the past. If something in the past hurts, don't bring it up again because there is nothing you can do to change the past. Forgive, forget, and be happy. Take the higher road.
Love, Peace, and Happiness,
Griff
