Unfortunately, as with most everything today, people are going to be biased, no matter the subject. I honestly don’t think we (yes, I’ll include myself...just a tad, though) sit down and actually talk to people for any length of time anymore and that is so sad. It is also very detrimental to our society.
How many of us actually know our neighbors, no matter how close or far? Of those, how many do we talk to? Shoot, now days if we can’t text someone we just don’t talk to them. How many of y’all know what I’m saying?
With everyone seemingly living in this “me” world, we are so quick to react and think the only information out there that is correct is what “we” know. Added to this “thinking ‘my’ knowledge is best” is the absence of tone, inflection, etc. in the words we type. And then, before you know it an all out bru-ha-ha has erupted simply because a text has been completely misconstrued. And I believe this all brews down to the fact that we as a society do not talk enough anymore.
Now I will confess, I’ve been one to think “my” way of doing something is best. However, in my defense, I am an only child (had no other choice than to think my way was best) and I am a perfectionist.Well, that says it all now doesn’t it? After saying that I feel the need to clarify a few things.
I digress, enough about my faults! We have all got to begin talking to each other again. But since that probably isn’t gonna happen we need to learn to express more sympathy and empathy toward others. Yeah, I guess I’m guilty of that at times too.
- I get to work and do things by myself, a lot
- If something is on my mind, I usually want it done that way
- I fold the towels and put away the dishes (ensures it’s done like I want it)
- BUT...
- I will NEVER criticize someone for something they have done/are doing, even if I wouldn’t have done it that way
- I have been known to say I think it may work better done another way (this is mostly with family though)
- I have a butt load of common sense and am mechanically inclined and when others don’t see the same thing I do (my DH) it irritates me
- Which takes me back to #1
Well, I’ll shut up now! I need to go lock my chickens up.
P.S. Did y’all know that chickens don’t see well in the dark?The dinosaurs in Jurassic Park could see! WTHeck!

Well said. You appear to be a well spoken person to me.
