Be Nice! |
Why can’t people just be nice and for real?
It is so hard to have a decent conversation with many people in this day.
Example: I try to have a conversation with “S”, half way through “S” throws me curve ball, then says “Just kiddin.” I don’t know about you, but I do not need a “just kiddin’ in a conversation. I find it to be rude. How am I supposed to know if someone is “just kiddin” or not? I don’t. I’m not a mind reader. It ruins the integrity of the whole conversation.
Example: I join a new bowling league at an old bowling house. I am friends with most of the staff. I said “See you soon, I’m joining xyz league.” My friend says, “Aren’t’ we lucky.” This person is always like that. I know she is “just kiddin” but she hurt my feelings.
Putting people down or causal “just kiddin” insults are not funny.
Example: A clerk that I know well gave me a pen to use, he didn’t bother to tell me that it was a trick pen. When I couldn’t operate it he laughed at me. He said, “I thought you were smart.” I was furious and belittled. I said “No I’m obviously not as smart as you.” Why did he have to do that to me?
I believe in lifting people up. Helping people to believe in themselves, letting them believe they can accomplish what ever they choose.
