Snarky Town

Snark: Abusive and sarcastic speech or writing.  Generally believed these days to be a combination of the words "snide" and "remark."

Have you ever been in a group of "friends" where, when one member leaves, the knives come out and character assassination begins?  Welcome to Snarky Town.

It's not a very nice place to live, is it?  You never know whose knife will be stuck in your back, or when.  Because, they will wait until your back is turned.

Is this the way you like to live?  Do you get a charge out of cutting down other people, and pointing out their deficiencies?  Not a very pretty picture, is it?

We propose, instead, that you move to a different place.  A happier place, a more loving place to reside.  We propose that you choose a place of encouragement and appreciation and acceptance, of love, and that when you see deficiencies in someone else, you don't dwell there, you don't focus on these things.  You acknowledge that there is room for improvement, and move on, knowing that there is room for improvement in yourself, as well.

There is no longer any room for hatred in this world.  There is no longer any room for destructive criticism and malicious words and thoughts.  They do not belong here, if they ever did.  It's time for these things to go.

Snarking is not a form of entertainment or amusement.  It's a form of ugliness.  It can be funny at times, certainly, but it's not kind, it's not nice, it's not positive, and it won't take you where you want to go.  Snarking is truly a serious thing, with serious consequences.  Unless used carefully by a trained professional. 

Move out of Snarky Town.  Find yourself a better location.  Build yourself (a place) on a hill, where there is light, and where your light can be seen and enjoyed, and bless other people.

Build your house in a place of beauty and refinement.  Build your house in God's heart, and spread the news, spread the love, spread the acceptance and gratitude and beauty of the place that you have found.  Invite others to join you.

We love and bless you this day.

Namaste.
