When is the time?

 

     That's my question, and dammit I want it answered!  When is it time to put aside our own faulty attitudes and selfishness and simply respect people, ESPECIALLY people who are continually respectful to you?  The over abundance of entitled people who seem to be on some super deformed power trip is astounding!  Does being an authoritative figure give you the right to be shitty to people simply because you think you can?  Besides the fact that I am certain Karma is going to bite you in your overly large ass...im sure if you continue walking  down "aggressively pessimistic bitch Ave" then someone might get to you before Karma gets the chance.  Oh how glorious that day would be!

  To be honest, it baffles me how people can go to such extreme measures to avoid taking any responsibility for their actions.  Whats even more disturbing is how someone in a position who is supposed to focus on teaching children to be accountable lacks that in themselves.  How can you be a good example when your actions prove to be the opposite of that?  People fail to realize that actions speak much MUCH louder than words.  That kids, especially kids who look up to you as an example are going to be looking at your actions and listening a lot less to your words.  There are multiple negative effects this can have.  One, it gives them an excuse for their own wrong doings.  Two, it leaves no one left accountable and lot of justifiable reasons as to why.  And three, it weakens the whole unit, the superiors, the employees, and the students, and that a alone is virtually impossible to fix.  At least with the same person in charge.  When you find yourself blaming everyone else for your problems and taking no responsibility you jeopardize yourself as a person.  at first it might work, but once the lies build, which they always do, you will have lost all credit and any respect you may have had before.  So why?  Why get yourself off the hook by blaming someone else, ultimately losing yourself in the process.  Why make everyone think you are not only untrustworthy, but down right spiteful only to learn the same lesson...just in a much more painful way?  I guess taking the easy road and owning up and getting respected for doing so is much scarier than tearing yourself down and losing all credibility!

When you lose yourself what do you have left?  Be admirable for doing the temporarily harder thing.  In the end you will have regrets and sometimes those relationships can't be mended.  If more people would "treat people as they want to be treated" life would be much sweeter.  Might sound like a cliche...but at some point in your life you will wish for that someone to treat you better and realize yourself that you haven't been so kind in the past.  Life is a bitch ...you don't have to be too!
