Topic: The cycle never ends... | |
---|---|
You know it is funny. Some people I guess have to live to be mean to others. They pretend at first to be nice but then something insignificant sets them off and suddenly they are calling you names out of the blue. Even having a sense of humor justifies their anger in their mind.
I am curious to understand why some people are under the impression that acting like JERKS makes them feel more in charge of their lives? Bear in mind I TRY HARD to be nice but three things set me off like a bomb, and it takes a little time to get the fuse to prime before detonation; passive aggressive, bullies, and rude/mean people. I can become super rude, extremely hostile, and a total AZZHOLE! But that only happens when I am pushed to these behaviors. In my own sense I can say I do have a control issue where I do not like my peace or the peace surrounding me disturbed. That does not mean I get mad when the neighbors turn their music up too loud. Yelling at me is another thing. Just becasue someone say something I don't agree with is not an issue. Calling a viewpoint of mine ignorant and explaining why (without Ad Hominum tossed at me) actually to me is the sign of intelligence and a good thinker. Call me an idiot without explanation and get ready for me to unleash a tirade of insults aimed right at your ego and the core of your very existence. But this is where the dilemma lies. There are a lot of times I find myself trying hard to choke back the way I want to express myself trying instead for a more favorable act of diplomacy before I unleash hell. I attempt to give people a chance to reform their expression and opinion in an attempt to break the cycle of spite we seem to be perpetually caught in when passions go beyond reason. Politics and religion are two contentious areas where a lot of people cannot ask or answer challenging questions. A lot of people cannot handle their faith or idealism being questioned. That shows me how shallow their Brain Pan really is! An intelligent person with an opposing view point can openly discuss why they feel that way and are open to argue about it with logic and sense. Not, "If you don't like the way I feel about this you are stupid!" How can we end this? Well, my attempt is to TRY HARD to not give in to it and take a lot of crap personally (YEAH, I do feel dirty saying this because in my own way I do admit I am hypocritical at times about this) is to not give into calling names and resorting to being just another stupid TROLL. I wait until I am TROLLED upon and then I go FULL METAL JACKET on them. So how do we as a species end hate and anger if they are part of the Human condition? It seems everyone has hate and anger at some level in them. And they aim it at everyone else in their own way. Yes this seems general but I have caught friends of mine falling into that trap and had to remind them they were better than what they were getting ready to act. I do have one answer for beating this cycle. STOP WATCHING SO MUCH DAMN TV! The media is poisoning us badly! But so is religion. Humanity does things so extreme sometimes. Where else do we institutionalize hate in the name of god (ISLAM, COUGH COUGH! And like the Catholic or Baptist Churches are any better! NOT). I therefore have another answer, listen to your own damn heart for a change and stop listening to others! If what a priest is saying sounds and feels wrong it must be wrong! If you feel bad about what you are doing? GUESS WHAT! And if you assume people don't have feelings? Well, if you think they don't you indeed do have issues! |

Love focus my friend. I'm still learning this myself. Love as your center to dictate your actions and inactions. It can be sweet or tough love. Yes, anger is there, but without being rooted at your center of being it doesn't have the depth to spiral out of control. Love will strengthen your courage, offer alternatives, and just plain make you feel better. Bruce Lee: be water. Be love.
