Ok, so my bible has alot to say, and i am not sure if i totally have it right. Plus how can you make everyone happy, someone has to be mad, right?
Romans 12:17 - 18
17Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everybody. 18If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.
To live in peace with everyone and do right in the eyes of everyone is really hard. Something that is right to this person, may not be right to the other person. Not everything that is right or peaceful to this person is like that to the other person. So, then how do we live? Not doing anything at all, then no one would be mad at you cause you did the wrong thing, they would be mad cause you did thing at all? Or doing the right thing for this person this day and then the next day doing the right thing for someone else, but then the other person would be mad cause you didn't do what they thought right. So, how should we live? We can't make everyone happy, but in the verse it kinda seems like thats what its saying, do right for everyone, which only God can do. So, then what do we do?

You're right, you can't please everyone. But, in my opinion, the important thing is to live a pleasing life to God. Living that kind of a life will be pleasing to just about everyone.
Annie Mae...Freetobeme is right...if you live a life pleasing to God..in most cases you will be at peace with yourself...you will, of course, have situations where you will feel badly because the right thing may not please someone...but if you know in your heart it was right for you...it will end well..the way it was suppose to...I have been going through similar situations just recently.
