Choosing deafness.

Refuse to hear the "daily downers."
Some thrive on complaints.
Some enjoy ill health and spread their
contagion everywhere they go.

Refuse to hear criticism of others.
When hypercritical people find fault
and gossip in your presence,
tune them out.

Practice the delightful deafness
that breaks the chain of criticism and complaining.

I choose deafness.
