I had a big blowup with YorkeDaddy (I said blow UP!)  a while back but we thrashed it out in PM and now we're buddies again. I could have said some nasty things about him here, but that's not me. May make me a wimp or a bore, but it just isn't my way. Scuse me while I polish my halo: these things get so dirty!

I know what you mean. In one hand, I think it's functionally *easier* to live life that way. Certainly more harmonious. Human beings tend to not take criticism well. It invariably strikes at the ego of a person even when meant constructively, and relationships strain. And more to your point, it's easier to live as a human being that does not have negativity in his or her life, even if it is aimed toward others, because it's a burden. But on the other hand, where there are those that cannot help but to have criticism of others, those of us that have not learned how to ignore such a thing, be it personality flaws or just pure humanity, I think it's even more destructive to hold it in.
I think I've demonstrated that quite well yesterday.
I'm trying to be better about it. I always hold things in. A lot of things get to me and I want to be better at it, but it's a matter of changing the way I think versus holding my tongue. Until such a time where I'm truly only able to see positive things in others, which I'm not sure is possible, the only way I can operate is by adopting a policy of honesty.
But I could probably work on my tact.
