Jasper County Democrat, Volume 22, Number 85, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 21 January 1920 — No Sense in Playing Martyr. [ARTICLE]

No Sense in Playing Martyr.

Affecting the abused mortal won’t keep "you from paying the fiddler. Some folks are always being made to bear the burden of things—so they would have you believe. The fact is so many people can’t do a really big day’s work and they throw in lots of bluff to make up for the shortage. But the more bluff they use the more they call attention to what they are. Air is unstable and the hotter it is the more it starts things. So beware of playing the martyr. There’s nothing in it and the sooner you give it up the better. Face the music like a man. Be master of the situation instead of a whiner.
