You are not better than me

Fairly recently I have hit a curve in the road, yet I don’t quite know if it’s due to my own doing or if it is the pressure from individuals to purposely seek and find my errors, almost as if a missile has zoned in on me and its chasing me down with no desire to stop.

If you are reading this and you are one of the people I am going to describe, please stop your horrible behavior, it really a pain in the back side and what do you possibly get out of making others’ lives miserable?  Really you suck and its sucky to make others hate going about their daily lives, trying to hold a job, provide for a family and still enjoy what time they have to spend with you and others during the day.

I am not and I will say it in capital letters NOT this kind of person, it is beyond my capability of pure understanding why people choose to react and treat others this way, you are not Holler than thou, your farts don’t smell like roses and please the sun does not shine when you walk around and sets when you sit down, no, you are like me, a human being and you are making others unhappy.  You are a grown up bully!! When you purposely go out of your way to discuss a person, whether it is their dress sense, their car they drive, the area they live in or the way they look, then you are a mean person who needs to take a step back and think just what you are saying about that person.  Look at them and figure out for yourself, God gave you a brain, that person is struggling to keep head above water but plants that smile on their faces to make you believe all is ok, that person eats bread day in and day out but carries on like they have a 5 star dinner like you every night, that person sits their evening through consoling a baby/child who is sick or in pain and functions on minimal sleep, so excuse me if these people aren’t up to your standards, we are simply trying NOT to fail at life.  Some of us did not have the privilege to study straight after school and could finish our studies while we were single and carefree, no, we have to do it with our husband helping keep small children entertainer and have us not feel like we are missing out on some of the best years of our children’s lives to provide for them.  Or even not have our children live with us because the quality of life is better with their other aren’t and we trying to fight a battle to be able to be in a position to provide that one day.

So when you make a colleagues life at work hell, when you gossip because her hair has not been colored in forever and she looks horrible, when his car doesn’t start in the parking lot because he cant afford a battery at the moment and needs to be push started or when the person cant join in your weekly lunch because they would rather use the excuse of being busy then to tell you they have R50 left until pay day, maybe then sit back or take a step back and re-evalutate your situation and shut your big mouth before making someone else feel worse than they already feel.

My advice is to rather empower, inspire, help, motivate and understand that we all have our problem but please don’t contribute to them.  Make someone’s day rather than break them.


Peace and love people, peace and love
