Is it just me or has the world become just that little bit more bitchy lately? I don’t understand this phenomenon really. To put it plainly you cannot do something nice for people because apparently we all have ulterior motives. That is why I only help complete and total strangers these days. Over the course of the last few months i realised only the closest and truest of the true friends will gladly accept your help and assistance without saying “if they could do something in return”. Truth be told I am not Mother Theresa I do not always help and the reason for this is because I only help when it is within my means. However, helping a blind person cross the street is within everybody’s means. As i mentioned above, i now help homeless people, beggars i see or even disabled people who are complete strangers to me, because what could I possibly want from a blind man or a person who cannot give me financial gain in return? Oh wait the bitches of this world will then turn around and say I feel guilty for my lifestyle and therefore I am trying to save my soul. Fail. Kindness is innate. You are kind for the right reasons and it makes you feel really happy. period.
The next thing i want to bring up is the fact that people are far too “non-confrontational” these days. I appreciate it a lot if I have/had done something not quite right that someone pulls me a side and tells me to my face and not bitch about me through proxy. I also despise the fact a rallying cry for support is used to brain wash people to see things their way. It makes people who want to do the right thing and who are inherently straightforward just afraid to come out and be counted.
I read something today that really struck a chord. “It’s easy for someone to take a Pot shot at you. Its hard though, not to take it personally.”
Think about that for second.
My next post “Sensei/Teacher respect, vs. Sensei Worship” – i read something similar a while back but this is my take on it. Ill highlight the differences etc. Stay tuned.
Same bat time, same bat channel.
btw, i think those ppl (u know whom im refering to) who actually do have ulterior motives totally screwed it up for u hahaha.
and agree, nowadays for gawd knows what reasons, if ur confrontational it means you’re bitchy and malicious but if you keep it to yourself but bitch behind someone’s back it’s laudable and polite. fuck that shit.
Haha totally agree kim. btw you and mr. g free for dinner next tues?
