Do You Get Along

Is It Just Me

How well do you get along with others? Is your physical make up that of someone who plays nice? Or someone who can roll with the punches and take the heat thrown their way. If someone is in your face tossing crude remarks your way, what would your response be? This could go either way for me. It depends on who the person is. Is he or she worth your time to respond with a razor sharp comment, or is it better to shut your mouth and let them look like the idiot they are?

I'm Both

Me, I’m a little bit of both. I can dish it as well as take it. At times I’ll keep my mouth closed because I know if I open it nothing good would come out. Other times if I’ve had enough of the person, I’ll let them have it. Many times, I’ll think about it after the fact, and I’ll think oh I should have said this, or I should have said that. 

I’ve seen people who will take almost anything and not say a word. Are they doormats or maybe they are the wise ones. At times I think some people need the truth shoved down their throats. I’ll sleep better at night if I’m the one to do it.  

Play Nice Now

Should we all play nice and forget about the snarky comebacks we all so enjoy. Will that bring us together as people? I’m thinking the world is too far gone. There is a hatred that exists now that wasn’t there before. Division is the name of the game, and we are all players. Insults are tossed back and forth with no regard for anyone’s feelings. I’m slightly perplexed on where all this hatred started. I just know it’s there and it’s like a ball of yarn gathering speed as it rolls downhill, unraveling and useless as it may be. The above photo is my sister Tammy. Do not let her angelic face fool you, she can dish it out with the best of them.

Alone and Lonely

Maybe we should be solitary people. Not groups of like-minded people. Have a brain of your own. If you are one of those who give as well as you get, I applaud you. Don’t let anyone rain on your parade. Stand up for yourself. If you come off looking like an angry baboon well, what difference does it really make in the long run. Live your life how you want to live it. 

Do What You Want

Maybe you’d like to go off the grid, so you don’t have to deal with people. Your choice. Not a bad choice if that’s the one you choose. Me, I don’t mind the back and forth with people. It’s entertaining and keeps me engaged. Most of the time I consider the source when people hurtle insults at me. Coming from Law Enforcement I think I’ve been called every name in the book. So, it rolls onto one shoulder and tossed off the other. Do you really think it matters what other people think of you? To some people maybe, but not me. Some people have that inner need to be loved by everyone. I say the heck with that. Choose happiness first. You need to love yourself before you can be loved by anyone else. There are so many people not loving each other now. Quick to blame and hurl insults and untruths. Get good with yourself and you can love everyone else. Well not everyone. Some people are just unlovable aren’t they. 

We all need to take a good look in the mirror. Do you like what you see?

If not, change it. Peace and love everyone.
