Interacting with others Archives - Page 3 of 7

Differences should be appreciated

September 21, 2020September 16, 2020 by Zero Dean

Your preferences are just that, *your* preferences. They are not a universal standard. Variety & options are a good thing.

Just because someone doesn’t share your affection or dislike for something doesn’t mean they deserve to be mocked or ridiculed because of it. And it doesn’t make them your enemy unless you choose to live like it does.

Differences should be appreciated, not used to further fragment a world already severely suffering from a lack of love, unity, and support at nearly all levels of human existence.

There’s still a place…

There’s still a place for decency. For kindness. For respect and tolerance.

There’s still a place for integrity and generosity. And goodwill towards others.

There’s still a place where we can inspire hope and build the kind of world we’re proud to live in.

And it begins in each of us.

Speak to be heard

How often do the negative & disrespectful things that people say make you change your view?

If you don’t communicate in a way that gets through to who you’re trying to communicate with, it doesn’t really matter what you say.

Speak to be heard.

As it turns out, sometimes all you have to do to dial down how much the world irritates you is to eat.

Getting a good night’s sleep can also help.
As can getting off of social media for a while.
And avoiding people, if possible.
Exercise can also be good.

Take it one day at a time.

Other people’s relationships

If you want to live your life assuming you know what’s best for other people’s relationships, then you should also live your life assuming that other people know what’s best for yours.

Or perhaps just live your life.
