Den of the Beastly Bear
Morning folks!
Have you ever met THAT person?
You know the one...that person that just appears to be mean and angry all the time? But then something strange happens...you see them interact with a child, or an animal, or perhaps their family and "Wa LA"!!!
Different person! They are kind, loving, and patient!
Oh, it goes the other way too. You know them as friendly, jovial, fun loving most all the time...
Then, in a different setting/situation they become a true ogre!
I have a theory about this...
That people are like a spinning coin.
With two sides, equal but opposite!
Some are just better at making change! ;-)
What I mean is this. If you see a quarter size amount of jovial good humor, you can bet there's not "just" a dime's worth of angry ogre, even though that's all you see.
Oh no, there resides a full quarters worth whether you see it or not! There is no escaping the duality of our nature.
Which is why there IS such a saying as "Beware the anger of a gentle man!"
So as we go about our business today, let's keep in mind the spinning coin...and decide which side we'll show the world!
