Some words beginning with …………..

The big thing at the moment is the V for Vendetta masks.

Vendetta. Not really a good thing.

Vindictive. Neither is that.

There’s a bit of vindictiveness going on right now. Not to or from me, of course. And I refuse to get involved. But some people have a vindictive nature and it’s not attractive.

The big thing, if it is directed at you, is not to respond, not to feed the flame.

It doesn’t mean it will go away just that the flame will not last so long.

But some people seem to delight in being vindictive. Or, maybe it’s just that they’re scared themselves. Or, maybe, it’s just that the anger that is inside them, means they cannot help themselves. To me it’s one of the last two things and, either way, means that they stop thinking with a cool head.

I’ve rehearsed my response, should I ever be called on – from one of dissolving into fits of laughter to being quiet and listening and empathetic.

In any event, the answer would be ‘no’, of course. How could it be otherwise? And, after all this time?

But the response would only become necessary if there was real desperation and I’m not sure if even then?

Still, the vindictiveness, which although confirming any of my previous decisions, is both saddening and infuriating.

Ah well, not really my problem now.

  1. Hi Andy – if at all possible I avoid any such goings on that have to do with vendetta, vindictive and the like. Avoid such like the plague. Hoping you can and will do the same as you are reflective of all that is good and just in this world.
    Loving you
    Gail
    peace…..

    • Yes, Gail, I agree. I am avoiding it and, anyway, it’s nothing to do with me. The problem is that once someone gets caught up in it, it’s hard to slough off.
