we live in a very nosy society.
it's sad.
everyone wants to know everything about everybody all of the time. honestly.. i try not to talk about ANYONE, EVER (hard to believe, but true. ask my family members). every time i hear someone gossiping i say to myself... "now.. if i go and talk about so-and-so, then what right do i have to be upset when someone talks about me?"
it's kind of a karmic mentality..
do unto others, if you will.
how sad is it when our own happiness is based on what others think of us? how can we possibly find inner happiness when we are constantly worried about how others feel? of course, there are reputations to be guarded and so on and so forth.. but how, can we honestly commit to an optimistic lifestyle if we do not fully understand how tortured most of society is? and not only ARE we tortured, but it is self-inflicted pain, and without understanding, embracing, and attempting to change that.. the world will never be a better place. i encourage each and every one of you to compliment 10 people today, just because. and then do the same thing tomorrow. it takes 28 days to form a habit.. so if we do this for a month... maybe we'll all have a GOOD habit... and just maybe this world will start becoming a little happier.
sorry. just a little venting.
and maybe we should listen to our mothers...
