Dwelling on Grievances
Power of Trouble Is Increased
And Distributed by Talking of 1t

THERE is a curious and very
= much mistaken idea that by
talking of our grievances and our
troubles, we decrease their pow
er over us to make us miserable.
Instead, by dwelling on them we
reinforce their power. We not
only do this, but we scatter the
seeds of their discomfort, as we
unburden our hearts, and a whole
new crop of disturbing thoughts
enters into the minds of those who
bear with us during our outpour-
ing of words.
Making Misery.
It the person to whom we speak
is near and dear to us, our
troubles weigh on them almost as
their own. We are unwittingly
the cause to them of an added
weight of discordant thoughts.
and perhaps they may be trying
to get the better Of their own
bothers.
Sympathy Versus Help.
We have only to consider the
effect on ourselves of listening to
others talk of their worries, mis-
fortunes, and hard luck, to real
ize the depressing power of such
conversation. It is seldom we can
do anything to help them. In fact
persons who talk of their troubles
seldom do it to get helpful sug-
gestions. They are bespeaking
sympathy and often are disturbed,
hurt or annoyed, when they get
advice, even though it be excel
lent. What is wanted is to hear
expressions of understanding of
their position as difficult, and to
hear their actions considered
wise. Is this not really what we,
ourselves, hope to hear when
we air our troubles?
Trouble Mongers
When we are awakened to the
fact that talking Of our woes adds
to those of the listener without
lessening ours, that we are inn
planting troubles in the minds of
others, we surely will try to be

that is now his legal name. The
change was made three years ago

In the most solemn part Of the
ceremony, the fans outside were
cheering some late arrival. De
spite the ultra formal ceremony,
many guests wore street clothes.
Mary Pickford showed her fond
