Mind Your Business...
Tuesday, September 09, 2008
How much of others people's business really our business? When is it ok to intrude and force your views on someone else? I say never, but I've come to realize that everyone doesn't think the same As a growing and forever learning child of this earth I understand that we all have our flaws and we all have our own set of morals. So why pretend as if we all can and should live by the same code? What's good for me isn't guaranteed goodness for Susie or Derrick. My life is unique to me, and my struggles and obstacles are what shape my opinions and values. So every time I hear someone comment on the way someone lives their life, whether it be sexual orientation or religious calling, it rubs me the wrong way. How can someone expect other people to live by the same morals and guidelines you've set FOR YOURSELF?
I've always been one to accept people for who they are as long as they aren't directly hurting anyone, because then it would be an issue for me. But I have never attempted to right a "wrong" in anyone's life. That's not my call. I'll leave that to them and their God.
Just random thoughts...

I've run into this issue before with my female friends. My feeling is if you're willing to tell your business, then you should be willing to take advice on it. Otherwise shut up! Bottle it up. Keep it to yourself. Personally, it's not that I want to force my views on another person. It's just advice. Take it or leave it.
But many times women just want to vent. Truth be told, I'm a problem solver, not a problem listener. I'm not the "bitch wall", so don't bitch to me. The way I see it, if you have a problem and it's been days, weeks, and months you've been having this problem, it's obvious to me your values do not help your situation.
And, how much MORE listening will I have to do before you figure it out.
