DOWN IS DOWN
by JE Lillie
Some say, “It doesn’t matter where you’re going as long as you have the right attitude.”
Other say, “As long as it doesn’t hurt anyone else where you end up doesn’t matter.”
I say, “Down is down and no amount of pretending will ever make it up.”

You got that right. 🙂
Thanks Patricia. I see too many people who are heading downward and calling it up!
Good one! Pastor J!
Thanks Deb.
Down is down? Yep! But some people don’t get it.

That is the truth. We are watching as Orwell’s novel 1984 engulfs our culture…: “Down is up”; “Love is hate”; “War is peace.” . It is uncanny.
Yep!
you are right … down is down and no amount of pretending will ever make it up. these are words of wisdom but not many takers for it.

True story. Going down seems easier most days.
Wise words that can be applied to so many situations.
Thank you.
