What’s the topic, George? Peeves, what’s your opinion? How about you, Madama? And of course, you, too, author Sandra!

 

GW Rule #43

Do not express joy before one sick or in pain for that contrary passion will aggravate his misery.

PEEVES

It’s selfish to go on about your good luck around someone who is having a tough time.  Better not do that in front of me, I have lots of teeth!

MADAMA

Be aware of the feelings of others.

SANDRA

How would you feel if you were sad or deeply disappointed and someone else just wants to tell you how well things are going for them?  It makes you feel worse.  True friends don’t do that.  Tell them another time when they feel better.
