Don’t darken my door

Haters gonna hate.

So the saying goes.

There are some people who really can’t help themselves. Their default setting is negativity. And it’s in their nature to share their default setting with just about anyone who will listen.

Often times the naysayers will hit a nerve. Say something that either hits too close to home for comfort or is just plain hurtful. Or unnecessary. They are clearly unaware of the basic truth that not every thought that comes into our heads needs to be expressed. But the haters don’t always comprehend that social standard.

So here’s what we’re going to do. We’re going to do our best not to let them darken our door. We’re going to let them do their thing and we’re going to ignore. If it gets too bad or they step too far over the line, we’re going to give them a piece of our mind.

And after that, we’re going to forget about them and their nastiness and we’re going to get on with our day.

Don’t let anyone darken your door.
