We will call this Day 5 (I am aware I have missed a few days)...

Is it just me?? Or are people just blatantly rude and/or demeaning for no particular reason?? People seem to be filled with such self righteousness that it has become an epidemic! Since when is it acceptable to be down right rude to those who surround you? Has it actually become socially acceptable or are we just desensitized to it?

It's not acceptable to me. It is not ok to be absolutely ungrateful and unaccepting of anothers compassion for understanding. We riddle off these absurdities to the only few who will actually listen and then wonder why they stop calling, emailing, texting, etc. Who would sincerely choose to be around such behaviour? You can do 1000 good things for these types of people, all you will get in return is their incessant demand for more! And yes, they will have the nerve to question why you have stopped coming around and calling. Well, here's the answer to that, 'you are a jerk'. Plain and simple.

They feel they have the right to speak their mind and any other ridiculous outbursts. Then they'll say that were just speaking the truth, telling it like it is. No. You weren't. You were just being selfish and angry and childish. Adults can speak the truth and express the way they are feeling in polite and admirable ways. I have seen it done many times. In fact, I do it myself. Everyday. Personally, I am much more apt to consider a persons words when they are said with respect and dignity. Demands and undignified, disrespectful remarks will get you very little of whatever it is that you are seeking.

To conclude today's rant and or grumbling, as the long lost (very lost) saying goes, treat people how you would like to be treated. Don't blame people for the turn your life has taken. Don't blame people for your boredom or for sanity. People can only add to your life if you are willing and accepting and gracious towards them. Thank them when they have helped you. People appreciate being appreciated.

Super XO.
