Between the pages

I was really kind of peeved, at first, by the comments left recently on this page, but then I decided to see who and what kind of person this was. Let's just say I am not so offended. Giving what I have gathered so far, and yes I actually took the time to read and see what this person was about before passing any sort of judgement call, I find that I am kind of flattered that he deems me as "Mad at the world" and "needing to call some sort of help line". Honestly, if this type of person sees something bad in me, it must mean I am way normal. 'Cause if there was ever someone needing some sort of divine intervention, it's this guy. Perhaps I should be wishing him the "Good Luck!".

Heh. Not worth my time.

Perhaps, I have been a bit grumpy lately. My posts reflect that. My posts also reflect the things I love, the things I appreciate and the few joys I can hold on to. Some people don't appreciate the ugly. And that's fine. But how can you ever appreciate what the beauty truly holds, unless you look that ugly in the face? It would all walk right past you, and you would never know it existed without experiencing what it is like without it at all. So, I may seem down on life or the "world" (in the context of my own) at times but that doesn't make it all so.

I am smart enough, to know that.

Part of me always feels sad for people that make themselves feel better and bigger by pushing another person down. How sad their existance must be. But, it doesn't excuse or forgive the behavior. My boss was telling me today about someone that was doing a particular shady practice concerning their personal affairs. I said "But that's fraud." He said "So, you don't think people do it all the time?" I said "Just because it's done all the time, doesn't make it any more right." He just looked at me and shrugged his shoulders. It's the same with passing judgements on someone you hardly know or peppering your conversation or comments with insults. You can't preceed an insult with an excuse for it. Don't say "I mean no disrespect but..." If you truly mean no disrespect, then you wouldn't say it at all.
