Let me just say this….attitudes are not people’s attractive quality
It is amazing how quickly folks will catch an attitude…for something like OH not agreeing with them, I mean to have the audacity, I can formulate my opinion and feel how I feel about whatever I want. I am a grown ass woman..further those same individuals are the main ones who hold tight to their opinions on any and everything
I am just amazed at the way people walk around through life….and then the things done out of spite, like oh I won’t talk to you or going out of your way to speak to others and not me. Do you HONESTLY think at 30 years old I really give a rat’s ass! I do NOT. I’m sure at some point (like high school) I cared about what EVERYONE else thought and felt and wanted to fit in, NOW having lived some life and made my own mistakes and successes unless you are my parents or some other highly respected advisor in my life you can go kick rocks! Really and truly!
I have a supervisor who COMPLETELY fits this bill, she is even so obvious that she asks EVERYONE on our team about their kids and pretends to care (this lady couldn’t keep a gerbil alive with as much evil as she has) and then who does she NOT ask –oh the pregnant one..
I kinda feel glad that she won’t waste her evil little breath on me so then I do not have to pretend to be nice and respond to her, keep your distance, I don’t need it
On another subject, I was having a debate with someone today who felt that taxi drivers were being unfairly profiled and targeted and I feel like this, whatever keeps me safe and sound, I am a bit more tolerable of…Unfortunately the world we live in right now due to 9/11 and other events has lead us to stay in a state of hyper sensitivity, but I strongly believe in error on the side of safety and caution.. Having worked in law enforcement I also understand the importance of officer safety and doing a job and wanting to go home at the end of the day. I think that is something folks will NEVER understand unless they have been on the other end of going into a high intensity critical situation…Otherwise you are just another misinformed opinion and spectator….
It’s easy to say oh the police profile all black people or certain people within a demographic and you know what-I don’t deny that cops just like ANY other job or occupation has it bad apples BUT for the most part they do their job like everyone else…and non law enforcement are in no opinion to judge because you don’t have the situational awareness and information that they received at the beginning of their shift, you don’t know why they are on high alert, you may not also know what it’s like to have a suspect pull a gun on you or be on the lookout for say a cop killer…so my advice is for the public to STAY in their lane, if something is really and truly wrong it will come to light, but if you don’t know the story and you are just observing, continue on and just be good at your job
Now this person and I did not see eye to eye on this subject but you know what..oh well I am entitled to my opinion, so what!
It would be easy to catch an attitude about this but REALLY ..why be that silly….and back to the subject of ATTITUDES
What do you really gain by getting an attitude, I mean for me honestly it just makes me lose respect for you, because it shows you do not know how to temper your emotions or that you are unable to have a healthy clean debate and just agree to disagree…
There is a quote and I cannot remember the source but I am not claiming it BUT it says
HE WHO ANGERS YOU, CONTROLS YOU
Life is too short….you can simply say I’m sorry you don’t agree and move on, but if you are debating with another adult you should both be able to walk away with a smile and satisfaction of a great debate…right Josh!!! My favorite debate partner
