Dog Poo on my doorstep

Yes, I understand the analogy although if you think about it literally it is pretty gross. I certainly hope that I am not one who goes through life spreading my stinky dog poo all over everyone. I would like to think that I make use of the dog poo I come across in life and turn it in to something wonderful weather than wallow in the stinkiness of it all.

Let's see here, sweetie. I can freak when my dogs think the grass is their heavenly loo. Smear it all over myself, not likely. I would get those that make my life miserable, smear them with the dog poo and use them for fertilizer. Hope i will get nice flowers out of that. TATA.

I'll put the dog poo in a paper bag, put it on someone else's doorstep and burn it.

Your title does not do you or discussion justice. This is actually a very interesting topic! Although you are so right in your analogy that if we get something unpleasant in life, we should be incorporating it on our garden of life, most of us wouldn't even get past the image. Specially in your example, where people have a vivid image of a dog poo in mind. Well, at least I have.

I think if we are not careful enough we will move around in life with bags of hatred, vengeance, complaints, anger, jealousy and dogs' poos. Garbage belongs to the bins and as you say dog's poo should be left in the garden. Love your post blue!

I get your analogy very well and to the point, thinking back for a moment and reflecting on all my life lessons, I have to say that although there is some humor here, I think I have smear all the crap life has dished my way. But only to note later in life that it was yet another life learning experience and I wised up and realized that the someone elses perfume can certainly smell like sh@t!

hi oh my the dog poo in my life like the hateful manager who the moment he heard my son had lost his job wrote out an eviction notice, or being here in this place? I decided when I had finally cried my eyes out over our homeless situation to join the others here for the bingo sessions and any other creative thing and smile and be happy for each new day. My son is working and thats wonderful, I had an allergic reaction to something and the steroids they have me on made my blood sugar go up so felt horrible at dinner time but found there was one medication that I can take every six hours for the itching and I drank a lot of water to flush out the sugar. Now I feel ever so much better.So maybe getting more info and taking the antiitch pills was sort of putting the nasty mean things into my mental flower garden. I amazed at how those pills and the water have worked to make me feel a lot better tonight,. great discussion thanks for it.it too helped me to be itch free.

Haha! I understand! Oh I thought that was indeed a nice way to explain some analogies there! Well, sometimes when we meet nasty people or incidents, we get upset for the whole day and when we meet people, we meet them not with our usual happy face, but the face that is "smeared" with dog poo. LOL! We have to learn to curb all these things and try to 'override' them with happy incidents.

Alright, first I would like to say that this analogy is shear genius as far as I'm concerned. The vivid imagery of seeing someone take a negative that would usually bring around anger and a little bit of puke if they had a weak stomach, and watching them turn it into a possible is superb. In a perfect world, I'd always be in the right mindset to adjust and use whatever resources put in front of me in a positive fashion. More often than not though, I'm usually a complainer who is reluctant to go with the slow and make something work. I admit it. I admire those who always seem open to working with the obstacles that stand in their way to make things better.

Hi, bluemoonpavilion! You provided a very advisable attitude of life and treat things. And I agree with you absolutely. But beside the philosophy, you also remind me a very annoying thing, "dog disaster" in Chinese cities. Last week in my English writing class, my foreign teacher let us write a paragraph about "What makes me angry or annoyed". And my writing is about annoying pet dogs. Here's the full text: I am so annoyed by the pet dogs due to the following reasons. Firstly, they mess everywhere so our living environment is badly damages. We should be careful of dogs’ poo on the roads when walking. Secondly, these dogs in the residential area may bark loudly and disturb neighbors, sometimes even their master can’t stop them. The third and the most important reason is they are really a potential danger of every resident. We can easily see vagrant or unleashed dogs hanging on the road, no one knows which time one of them will rush to somebody and have a bite. Also nobody knows whether this dog brings rabies virus, which is one of the most dangerous viruses in the world with nearly 100% fatality rate! Even worse, we can see large dogs which are definitely banned by laws. They are big enough to kill an adult directly! So I am really angry at those dogs, I hope the government would ban them in the urban zone one day! I know some of the words are over radical and might offend somebody, but it's from my heart.

In this instance, we are putting the negatives to positive use. Well certainly a constructive way to solve the problem and still see a good outcome.

it's nice to make the poo a fertilzer.we do that too in our home..but we use chicken and cow's poo not the dog poo...
