I Just Feel Like Giving Up

[Holly O]

Ohh sweetie you know you didn't do anything.
Whatever happened he needs to blame it on someone, instead of taking responsibility of his own actions.

So wash your hands of it and be done with him.
And always follow your gut instincts.

Except for in this case of getting rid of your chickens ....lol

 

[Sillystunt]

he's a JERK! it's real easy to blame someone else when they are probally wrong! Did he quarintine them, bet that is a NO! Anything can happen when purchasing livestock. Wildbirds can poop in your yard and give to illness, he could have had something in his dirt, etc etc

People are real tuff behind a keyboard! I HATE THAT~

Put it behind you, say OH WELL and move on~ If he continues to harass you send me over

 

[MagsC]

People can be so cruel. Try to put it behind you, he isnt worth the time feeling bad about it.(Now I need to take my own advice,lol)

 

[redstars]

Maybe you should get him a copy of Byc official book, Raising chickens for DUMMIES! and perhaps he will see what he did wrong...... assuming he can read.

 

[hikerchick]

I think it is horrible that he dragged your religion into it. That has nothing to do with chickens!! What a meat head. I always like to think the best of people but lately it has been difficult, with stories like this.

Please do not let lesser people make you give up on your dreams.

keep your animals they love you
get rid of the people

 

[Sitka]

What a jerk.
I try to remember to ask myself this question when things like this come up:

Do I do anything wrong?

If the answer is yes, then I try to fix it.
If the answer is no (as in your case) then I have to realize that it is the other person's problem and there is nothing I can or should do about it.

It is a simple thing but it is very freeing. It doesn't erase the hurt you feel, but it might help.

Let me repeat, "You didn't do anything wrong!"

This guy sounds like a total [insert non-family-friendly word here]

Some people are not happy unless they're miserable, and I suspect he is one of these pathetic creatures.
Now...let's forget about him and...dance!

Remember you cant please all the people all the time....
If you take everything everyone says to heart your setting your self up for heartach....

One person talking trash? Kiddo, I'm sorry that he got to you. You are a sensitive person and I hate when decent people are snubbed.

But the thing to do is as Joe recommends. As long as he is all talk, then it is one person; so give him the benefit of your foot up his backside (figuratively) and get on with life. If you are right and there is nothing that can be laid at your feet, then move away from this turd bird.

This next advice may ring harsh, but it is meant to succor:

Grow a skin, my dear friend. A thick one that can shed a bit of trash and bile. The world is full of such people, and the sooner you can let it roll off, the better. Think of the duck in the storm.

Pray for the doofus, then get back to what matters. I'm reminded here of Mr. Miyagi, in the movie "The Karate Kid":

"Better learn balance. Balance is key. Balance good, karate good. Everything good. Balance bad, better pack up, go home. Understand?"

These words are spoken by Mr. Miyagi to Daniel Russo, played by Ralph Macchio. Daniel is wanting to do more advanced techniques and Mr. Miyagi is reminding him that in order to improve, a good foundation of the basics must first be in place. Mr. Miyagi wasn't just speaking about karate, he was speaking about life.

You cannot fix someone else's problem. Learn the difference. Own your own problems; never own anyone else's.
