That snark has defused more situations than I can count, and has gotten people through some stressful moments by changing their focus. It has it's negative side as well, but I think that's true of any trait. I think as a trait, I would describe it as Optimism. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gentleness is the best trait there is Joe. My father was the most gentle man I have ever known. The best man I have ever known. I wish I could be more like him. It's hard to judge oneself however I have always been told I have a great deal of empathy for others. I believe that my greatest strength is my determination, to to never give up. I have tried to teach my son many lessons, I tell him if he only remembers two things I have taught him, first always treat others the way you want to be treated yourself, with respect, kindness and compassion. And never, ever give up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
