I just read a great post on emotional thinkers and rational thinkers. I am definitely the latter. I am a rational thinker, I do not understand people who act in haste or do things they know are wrong because they can not control their emotions. I have never played the break up/make up game and do not tolerate toxic friends. Yes this might make me a bitch. I get that, however, my friends and family know they can %110 count on me at any time. And I know the same. I also can not understand manipulative, jealous or greedy people.
I would say I’m honest to a fault. This is not necessarily a good trait. I am very blunt and sometime need to sensor myself a little bit more. All through school that was my teachers biggest complaint, “She doesn’t think before she speaks”. I still have that problem. I can’t take a liar, lies or talking behind people’s backs.
This brings me to the point of this post. Why do people feel that they have to be nice when they clearly do not like you? If you ask me just nod hello to me and move on. Or let’s have it out and then get over it. I see people every day going out of their way to be negative and cut others down. At this point in my life I am mired down with these sorts of people. Greedy, Jealous, Manipulative, just plain Ugly. It is very hard for me to bite my tongue when people are attempting to affect my life or hurting my friends. I am learning. Slowly. It’s hard.
I am choosing to look at the positive. I am learning so much in my daily life about what not to be. I know exactly how I want to treat people and the things I will not stand for. I am hoping I will be able to keep my idealistic view of right and wrong. I know I will be shocked at the “real world” but am hoping I will be able to conduct myself in a manner that allows me to sleep soundly at night knowing I have done my best.
I think everyone should remember the old adage “Honesty is the best policy”. And another one I’m sure you’ve all heard “Treat others as you wish to be treated”. How far we have come from this.
