People work because they have an end goal: retirement benefits, pay bills, sustainability, and many other reasons. What gives one the right to belittle someone for trying to live honestly, through working? Imagine a world, where people reciprocate the interactions that are imposed on them. How would the world be?
If one person yells, then the other one yells back, if no respect is given then none is received. To me, that would be a great place to live, because, people would not feel entitled to disrespect others or belittle them. So, what stops people from reciprocating the behavior that is bestowed on them, and what stops others from stepping in when they witness this behavior? FEAR!
Fear of losing a job and the security that one needs to survive. Fear of the person who is disrespecting, perhaps that person becomes violent, then what? If people are around and no one has stepped in, then what makes the victim believe that someone would save them instead of videotaping them and posting the incident on social media? As a people, we have to do better. I have never been one to disrespect a person even if I grow angry with them or get loud. Yelling has never resolved anything. It only raises blood pressure. In a world where there are mass shootings every day, one must search for understanding and speak with the intention of providing peace.
When situations seem like peace is unobtainable, then walk away. I have never been a fan of loud, rowdy people because to me that shows a person’s ignorance. I am not a fan of people who like to make other people’s lives harder because that shows ignorance. I am not a fan of people who do not strive for peace because that is ignorant. Are there not enough ignorant people in the world, what makes one think we need one more?
The nerve of people to show up to a place and destroy confidence, shatter nerves, and create tears or thoughts of failure. And some people wonder why certain situations happen to them. The nerve of a person, who creates doubt or causes someone to quit their job, when they are trying to just exist. If one is dissatisfied with the service one receives, there are outlets to express discontent.
I honestly, many times cannot understand the nerve of a person. Even though some things are not meant to be understood.
Continue to pray for the world and those in need of spiritual, physical, mental, and emotional strength.
