“Don’t criticize what you don’t understand, son. You never walked in that man’s shoes.”

I think this means that usually there is more behind a situation that what can be seen. There are tons of factors that can influence somebody’s actions at any moment and just judging from outside doesn’t let you see all that there is to be seen.

“First try to understand, then be understood” Always good advice

I am a HUGE Elvis fan. Have appeared as him several times in fact.

But his life contradicted all three pearls of wisdom. He couldn’t face the truth people told him, and continued in a huge, deadly downward spiral.

Other than this, I love the blog, subscribe, and have linked to it. Be well!

Henrik,

Good point about repressing problems with “positive thinking.” I’ve recently moved back to California and I’m seeing this everywhere under the guise of “spirituality” and the more dysfunctional people are the more they are repressing with the “positive thinking.”

Good one.

Interesting post. Who knew one could draw positive living advice from Elvis Presley. LOL. I really enjoyed #2. It’s a wonderful lesson to learn the importance of not judging what you don’t understand.

“Just because I don’t feel like it doesn’t mean that I can’t do it.”
That’s a rule for living in itself!

I love the part about finding the balance between being positive and having common sense. You’re right. It’s not about suppressing our pain. It’s about trying to see the positive in the midst of it all. Great reading!

It’s a shame Elvis never put a stop to his own downward spiral.
