two types

I am sure that I read this somewhere.

There are two types of dysfunction.
Type one is anything that is not functioning in a healthy manner.  Someone is lazy.  Someone is rude.  Someone is unfair.  Someone does not take care of themselves.  Someone is a round peg in a square hole.  Someone hurts people in the name of God.  Someone worries too much. 

There are a million examples of type one dysfunction.  It is very common and a little bit of it floats around in everyone's life.  Some poor folks are loaded with dysfunction.

Then there is type two dysfunction.  This is the dysfunction that refuses to deal with the type one dysfunction.  Again there are hundreds of examples, I will just give one...  A relative is rude, but we don't want to hurt their feelings so we say nothing.  The result is that the dysfunction continues and family gatherings are ruined.

When we think about it, we can see that type two is actually much worse than type one.  Not all type one can be avoided, but type two is a conscious choice that we make to ignore that which hurts others.

May we all do everything that we can to eliminate dysfunction and live in a healthy environment. 

Let me close with a joke:  I have realized that everyone in the world is dysfunctional except for you and me.  Lately I've been a little worried about you.  [just kidding, its a joke.]

It's a beautiful day in God's world be sure to see the good.
