Just because the muppet, Oscar the Grouch, is cute and lovable doesn’t mean that people who act like Oscar are cute and lovable too. Really, those of you who are negative 99.999% of the time … stop. Please.
Let’s take a look at just a slice of this negativity.
You complain because your DVR only lets you record two shows at once and you want to record three. So to make you happy (yeah, right), someone buys a SECOND DVR that you can hook up to your own private TV in your own private room. Voila! Problem solved right? You’re happy now, right?
Silly me. No, of course you’re not happy. Now you’re unhappy because you can only watch that 3rd show that you recorded in your own little private space. You can’t watch it out in the den where the other two shows you recorded can be watched on the other DVR. /sigh…
Multiply that little scenario by however many minutes there are in each and every day, and that’s you – every moment of your life.
- Never happy about ANYTHING.
- Never satisfied with ANYTHING.
- Nothing is ever good enough.
- No one else is ever smart enough.
Every good, precious, blessed moment that ever happens is going to somehow be wrapped up in a cold, wet blanket by you.
And the kicker? You think that makes you cute.
It doesn’t. It just makes you very, very tiring to live with.
I’ve learned to share the joys of life with others because I really don’t want to hear you poo-poo every wonderful thing that I find happiness in. And that’s a shame, because life can be filled with joy and laughter, if only you stopped burying it under the sludge of negativity.

I love this post. Wrote one similar, but expressed it in pictures. People with problems are fine. Everyone has problems. But nobody likes the 24/7 debbie downer.
