Today, I had a conversation with a coworker that caused me some frustration. He made the comment about the town that I live in as being one that he and his wife had no desire to live because of the mass amounts of sexual predators. I asked him if either he or his wife ever lived in Magna. He of course, said no. I asked him how he knew that it is such a horrible place to live. He said that a site on the internet ranked it high in this category.
I will be the first to say that Magna is not the top choice for everyone to want to live. I must say that I thoroughly enjoy the community we are a part of and the joy it is to make a positive impact on it. We enjoy the many associations we have with the people of this community.
I learned a valuable lesson today. I should never be guilty of talking negatively about the place that someone lives.
I was not offended by his ignorance but I was frustrated by his lack of maturity to look into and find out about a place before making an affirmative statement.
Every town or city has its positive and negative. I believe that the experience somebody has, in a particular place, is dependant upon what they invest.
I believe that looking at something with a positive pair of glasses is the better way.
I want to be a positive thinker and I want people around me to know that is the way I feel.
