Drama

Drama seems to be utilized to spice up the lives of people.

I like my drama in book or movie form.

Apparently that is not enough for some people who tweak and twist ordinary events into major conflicts of breast beating, hair rending proportions.

Not that there are not horrible things going on in the world, but most of them are not major factors in the everyday drama of people I know.

Viewed from a calm, common sense, staunchly fact based point of view, most problems can be dealt with sanely and quietly if people choose and, in fact, resolving difficulties this way is much healthier and more efficient than otherwise.

Drama often begins when people try to change things from what they are to what they are not. Acceptance, or some form of acquiescence eventually becomes necessary, otherwise it is likely to rebound and destroy the mental and physical health of the manipulator.

Those people who grew up on histrionics and soap operas need to give up on the drama and the sooner the better. Contrary to what many of us learned when we were younger, drama does not make people love us more, or make life better. Learning to cope with reality will bring more balance and happiness into life.

Those dreams you have are much more likely to manifest in calm methodical behaviors and atmospheres. Eliminate the carry over of heavy breathing, crazy striving and irrational behaviors one moment at a time. Does it really matter if you do something immediately, or in one particular way? Does it really matter if someone disappointed you this one time? Can you let this one moment go so you can have a lot more better ones?

Of course you can!
