Misery loves company
MISERY LOVES COMPANY
When we assess our family backgrounds here,
we look for weaknesses we might be prone to - as adults.
You might know someone that tries to inflict their misery on others.
This is what unhealthy people do.
And this is a common thread in humanity.
We need to learn to spot this behavior in others,
to avoid being mired down by people who despise any happiness that isn't their happiness.
And we need to do a self-check, for everyone's sake, eh?
So many people focus on those who have more than they do,
but ignore those that have less.
Hmmm.
Jesus taught his disciples to do just the opposite- to look at those who had less.
MISERY LOVES COMPANY
The worst jealousy?
Perhaps the worst jealousy is when someone who has suffered as a child...
then as an adult...passes that pain on -
to an innocent child that should have been protected instead of abused.
