Just Sometimes.... Is It Best To Let Sleeping Dogs Lie?

Well...is it best?

These days, it seems in public and in private life, there is so much digging up of old events, then regurgitating the facts and making a big issue of them

Is it a type of vengeance or bitterness? Or should justice be done, even say, when the person is dead?

Or, Should we just move on and let sleeping dogs lie?

Re: Just Sometimes.... Is It Best To Let Sleeping Dogs Lie?

All injustice's must be corrected, dead or alive. Having said that, I am not a fan of rehashing everything out in public via social media. Its best to deal directly with the person concerned and sort it between yourselves. I am in the middle of a little (work related) situation which I would dearly love to splash all over every public forum that exists, because I am angry, but....I shall maintain a dignified silence until it is resolved.

And then....

oh my gosh....

Hell hath no fury, lemme tell ya!

Any injustice has to be 'sorted'!

If that's impossible and only then read my signature as to the alternative remedy.

Re: Just Sometimes.... Is It Best To Let Sleeping Dogs Lie?

Very often , when there is a disagreement, both parties think they are not in the wrong... but then they both view it from a different angle.

If you can talk about it when the disagreement occurs ( and you are both reasonable people) it should be easily sorted.

If you can't, but remain in contact, you should forget the disagreement happened and never mention it again.

Holding a grudge can only lead to more trouble!

Re: Just Sometimes.... Is It Best To Let Sleeping Dogs Lie?

As often, sometimes it is, sometimes it's not. It depends on the particular case or situation, how severe it is. As people often have different interests only one side may be interested in reconsidering a case while the other party wants to get away scot-free. Consequently, I've done both letting sleeping dogs lie and insisting on sorting things out in other situations.

I never bear a grudge - once I've got even!
