For years I’ve had simple rules for relationships with people:

• Dear Friends
• Dire Enemies
• People I Don’t Know

Recently I was pondering if I should add another:

• People I Don’t Want to Know

but that’s just adding detail to Dire Enemies.
I try not waste too much brainpower thinking about those people and this quote helps me let go of them:

“When you’re angry with someone, you make them a part of your life in a way you don’t need.” — Garrison Keillor

So, folks that in some way diminish my joy in life are simply forgotten. It’s best for all concerned.
