People who nag don't think that they nag. They truly believe that the subject(s) of their nagging will have a wonderful life if only they follow the precise directions of the nagger. They think that they are helping. They are wrong. However, you will never convince them of this so the subject of the nagging is better off by putting on wireless headphones and watching "Maverick."
People who say "I'll be there for you" should put in a codicil. They should say "I will be there for you if you want to go out to dinner or if you want to go out drinking." If you ask them to join you for a walk in the park or to help you clean out a room, you're on your own.
People who tell you how to deal with your family are only relevant if they are kind. Otherwise, they should shut up and listen. Nobody has a Norman Rockwell family and nobody gets to besmirch. That's right, I said besmirch!! Here's the way you love your friends. Listen and love and if they start with the besmirching then you can RAH RAH all you want but don't you ever initiate the besmirching because it's their FAMILY. GOT IT??? GOOD.
WHOO. Got a little crazy there. I'm okay now. I'll continue. By the way, I have no idea what precipitated this missive, I just suddenly wanted to say something. I guess that's why I have a blog.
People who say something mean to you and cover it up by saying "I'm just being honest" are just mean. Get rid of them.
People who say they love animals and then laugh at animal cruelty scenes in movies, comedy or otherwise,shouldn't have a pet.
People who say they are Christians, but ignore the least of us have forgotten what we were told. "Whatsoever you do to the least of them, you do unto me."
Greed is not good. Nor is nagging. Nor is judgmentalism. Nor is cruelty. Nor is selfishness.
I think we put a lot of stock in what other people think and we cloud our instincts rather than listening to our hearts.
The way we live, the way we vote, the way we decide what tomorrow brings should all be guided by that inner compass we all own but too rarely access. I think that if we look into our hearts, every one of us would take care of someone if presented with the necessity of now. What if we just realize that the necessity IS now and we decide to take care of one another? What if?
A myriad of rambling thoughts and ideas from an old broad who has been there, done that, bought the T-shirt and threw it away a long time ago. However, this old broad still has a lot to say. Here we go...
