4. I know. What's the saying? Those who can do, do so, those who can't stand by and criticize doers.

Just remember that people who are out to hurt others can gain nothing of value from their actions, all they can do is create misery.

Misery is easy to create. It's the tool of the maliciously lazy.

Happiness takes work, it is the reward for a a life being well lived.

Make the choice to not let others steal your hard earned joy.

Take the negative energy they fill you with and create something beautiful.
