Law of the Garbage Truck

I recieved this analogy in an e-mail today. I thought it was good.

"The Law of the Garbage Truck."

"Many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it. And if you let them, they'll dump it on you. When someone wants to dump on you, don't take it personally. You just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. You'll be happy you did." I started thinking, how often do I let Garbage Trucks run right over me? And how often do I take their garbage and spread it to other people: at work, at home, on the streets? It was that day I said, "I'm not going to do it anymore."

Life's too short to wake up in the morning with regrets. Love the people who treat you right. Forget about the ones who don't. Never let the garbage truck run over you.

I am probably an idiot for never having noticed this before, but I found it amusing the last of sponsored link above my post contains all Garbage services, no doubt per the subject of your post.

And yes, it's human nature that you very much adopt the attitude of people who hang around in some form or another, little at a time, sometimes without evening noticing it. The good news is that it works in positive sense, just as it does negative.

Good analogy (its the second one I've seen in the last 24 hours with the same theme). However seeing different people say the same thing in different ways only gives more creedance to the truth.

Law 10 Infection: Avoid the Unhappy and Unlucky

You can die from someone else’s misery – emotional states are as infectious as disease. You may feel you are helping the drowning man but you are only precipitating your own disaster. The unfortunate sometimes draw misfortune on themselves; they will also draw it on you. Associate with the happy and fortunate instead.

This is a good thing. I'm just mad that you pointed it out cuz now I'm probably going to look at them when before I automatically passed them by. aahhh the power of the big marketing machine

The religious threads' ads are pretty funny, because the ad bots put completely opposite sites' ads next to each other. If the computer sees the word "Christianity" on a thread, it put up one ad that says something like:

God is dead! Click here to see proof!

and then the ad next to it will say:

Jesus lives! Click here to learn more.


And I agree to avoid letting toxic people dump on you. Some people in your life are simply stuck there, and you don't always have a choice about it. But you don't ever have to be anyone's therapist and listen to their b!tching.
