Supposedly learned folks are hopefully taking note because understanding how it works could save the world a lot of unneeded drama. I believe there's an art to being able to cross that line of word to action while maintaining integrity. <br /><br />What is kind of interesting is how people deal with getting called on their game. The little boy who got caught on camera, that was a good lesson. Would be interesting to see how he retells the story when he's older. <br /><br />What is disturbing is when adults do this kind of stuff...I don't get the thinking behind it, but I do see that it happens. Substance abuse (alcohol is in there too) can sure be seen as messing things up, but we all make choices and are accountable for our actions. Perhaps the latest event has contributed to a moment of clarity. <br /><br />Clarity...<br /><br />What is weird, I find, is that in less-straightforward environments where people are used to getting away with passive aggressive behavior, it is good for no one. I believe that the more straightforward approach is medicine we can all use a good dose of. And that seems to only require a basic level of honesty most of us somehow seem to have forgotten and/or are afraid of. <br /><br />All of the dialogue going on through the Internet must be changing the way people operate in their daily lives with regard to being able to face themselves in the mirror. Maybe I'm just optimistic in this way. <br /><br />Anyway...thanks for continuing to stop by and sharing it like it is.Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09661426960326013304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3422399840077165986.post-41274408049875273382011-08-15T22:15:10.858+09:002011-08-15T22:15:10.858+09:00After years of getting excited that everybody with...After years of getting excited that everybody with an attitude is willing to back it up I've found a line that exists somewhere near "Passive aggressive". I can't absorb that. Well spoken or contrary views are fine...but laced with hinted loathing?...no...<br /><br />I wouldn't accept that face to face so no sense in changing that. I stick my neck out like a fucking loon sometimes and there it is...my neck...ready to be cut off or stomped on by an articulate person who trusts their words will be the damage.<br /><br />They never have enough confidence to let the smart people see the lesson they are teaching. That's their "Fail". They don't grab the chance. They get down with me and lose themselves and thus their message by getting down in the only place they ever could....in the virtual world.. so they are not very experienced and not very good as a result.<br /><br />They coulda wiped their ass with my face if they coulda trusted the people but they devolve down to their own lowest form. <br /><br />Pushing peoples buttons is as easy as...well....pushing a button.<br /><br />Sometimes fun...sometimes not so much.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14244086663441014048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3422399840077165986.post-73154685031313927112011-08-15T20:53:22.960+09:002011-08-15T20:53:22.960+09:00Kathryn: In the past, I've driven myself nuts....Kathryn: In the past, I've driven myself nuts. Fortunately, I'm a little better at reading between those blurry lines, but only a little. With far fewer social obligations, life has become a little easier, but only a little. <br /><br />Thanks for dropping by.Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09661426960326013304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3422399840077165986.post-18949462328673631962011-08-15T20:19:41.807+09:002011-08-15T20:19:41.807+09:00The politeness thing can end up being really impol...The politeness thing can end up being really impolite too - like when somone agrees to do something with you rather than saying no but then cancels at the last minute. <br /><br />A friend recently told me to stop worrying about the meaning behind people's words and whether they are being polite - to just take things at face value or I'll just end up doing my head in.Kathrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08699328937978331608noreply@blogger.com
