RON’S WISDOM SALON: 

A fictional advice column

Dear Ron,

I am starting to wonder about myself. I feel terrible when I hear anything good that people say about my friends. Am I a bad person or simply not good?

Not Good

Dear Not Good,

I would say you are neither bad nor not good. People need to feel terrible when other people tell them how great their friends are. The fact is you probably know your friends better than the jerks who are telling you how great they are and you know that they are not so great when push comes to shove. In fact, when push does come to shove they, these (double up-finger pinch) good friends, would likely push you off a cliff in flea sweep rather than inconvenience themselves.  Opinions! Opinions! Everyone has them. Everyone’s an expert.  I say haha to that. You know the truth, so stick to your guns. Feel terrible.

I hope this helped.
