Not gonna give a sermon, but......

It does seem we all are handling a lot of stress right now.
The national and international news seems to be consistently bad and unsettling. It's an election year with lots of issues that I sure don't have the answers to. The economy is kind of worrisome as well. It just ain't real easy right now.

I think in my case I am tending to take a few things more personally than I should. Sometimes I am reading more into a happening than it deserves. Kind of like road-rage at the entire world.

It is especially easy to do on a forum like this where the typed message may not convey what was intended by the poster.
It has been evident recently from several people that I consider pretty open minded and even tempered. I can't help but think it was just a temporary glitch in the system.
If Bill Gates can make Microsoft work with all the glitches it has, we sure as heck can make this place work.

Not sure what the point of all this was, but I did feel like saying it.

Well.....I've been guilty of letting my emotions guide my mouth lately....on more than one occasion, and I'm not proud of it. In fact I'm sorry for jumping to conclusions and maybe hurting others feelings.

I hate that I might have added to negativity on this forum as that flies in the face of everything I believe in....but...somethimes my emotions do surge and cause me to do things that are not guided by my best judgement and/or my values.

In fact, if one considers what causes most problems between people, that is exactly what happens. Emotions get stirred up, words are spoken behind those emotions and later when the emotions have calmed and the intellect has time to assess the situation without the hinderance of emotion, it's easy to see where the situation might have been handled differently.

However.....since pride comes into play...not wanting to admit having done wrong or having made a mistake, then what usually happens is that justification and rationalization start.

"well...if YOU hadn't done what you did then I wouldn't have said what I did. YOU MADE ME MAD"

Therefore it's your fault that I talked badly to you. I wouldn't have insulted you if you hadn't of made me mad in the first place. So what I said or did was not my fault...it's your fault.

I just love that reasoning!

Well anyway. I'll try to not run my mouth when my emotions are stirred up.

Thanks Charles for being the peacemaker and also Steve...who always appears to be on the side of reason and love. :D .....of course there is his tendancy to be a smart-ass............... :lmfao

The Whaler is an opened minded peace loving soul who gets hammered constantly on this site. Does he retaliate? NO! He says "Let's:dancin". Nobody can get him :angry. So in closing rabbi says be more like this speedo stud. As hard as this will be the mudball we live on will be a much better place if we do.:hippi. Now :mohawk brothers and sisters and peace out!
