Storing Up Ammunition

By kay • November 16, 2015

I've known people who store up ammunition. I'm not talking about ammunition for guns, but negative ammunition to use on people. Why anyone wants to keep this negative stuff stored in their minds is beyond me, but they do. I've done it myself.

Whenever someone does anything that they don't like they get their ammunition out and let them have it. "Well, I remember this, that, or the other that you said or did" is how they start to unload the ammunition. After it's all over everyone feels bad.

Wouldn't it be nice if instead of the negative we would start to store up some positive ammunition? Then when we have an opportunity to unload on someone it would be from the positive ammunition we've been storing up.

I think I'll start to think of some good things about people I know and start storing up some ammunition.
