A buddy
called me a doomer
a couple of days ago.
He said
he didn’t want to hear
any more negativity.
That’s fine.
I prefer not to talk
about possible challenges.
I would rather
talk about TV shows
and other trivial topics.
I shared those insights
because I’d feel guilty
if his already struggling business
failed
or he and his family suffered hardships
because I HADN’T warned him.
No one wants to tell you
bad news.
It is a total bummer
for the messenger.
We tell you bad news
because we care about you,
because we feel
you should know about it.
You don’t have to act on
these warnings.
But, at the very least,
listen to them.
It is a communication
of caring.
