Toxic People -- One

I recall a neighbor who knew what everyone else should believe, should do, and imposed her views belligerently on all she met.  Often she was out there in wacko land, but Boy! did she come on strong.

She was active in her church, and took it upon herself to counsel young women.  She counseled one to leave her husband and break up the marriage of a professional sports player (who was also married) because she had had a vision or a dream.  She was toxic!

Ah!  The ying and the yang.  Some people loved her and found her wonderful.  Others found her as poisonous as as spitting, mature viper. 

What shall we do with toxic people?  Cut them out of our lives?  Learn to ignore their foolishness and appreciate their good points?  Lock them up?

What do you think?  I hope we can  converse about this.  Please leave a comment.
