Consideration for the Inconsiderate
The word "considerate" is baseline; it's black and white. You either are a considerate person or you're not. It comes with the amount of connotation you want to take from it. Because quite frankly, a lot of people are flat out selfish.
But here's the problem, some people are so clueless to their behavior, that they have no clue that they're being inconsiderate.
They think they're nice people when in reality, they're the biggest bunch of self centered chumps they never knew they were.
Blame their upbringing, their character, whatever.
I wonder if people realize that the very same people they complain about, are the very same people, complaining about them.
If they were mindful of the people around them they wouldn't be accused of thinking only of themselves.
It's funny. It reminds me of a story where a friend of mine *Dave was trying to avoid riding with another friend *Ron. Dave told Ron that he didn't want to ride with Ron because Dave can only ride shotgun on long road trips and since Ron's girlfriend was going to be sitting shot gun, Dave said he'd rather drive himself or get another ride. Ron started talking shit to others about how Dave was lame that he could only ride shot gun and that he was being weird and picky. The truth was, Dave was lying to Ron, because Dave didn't want to get stuck in the car with Ron and his annoying ass girlfriend for 6 hours.
And Dave was right. Ron and his girlfriend are annoying. Nobody wanted to ride with them. Ron and his girlfriend never knew why in the end they ended up driving by themselves. They probably talked shit about everyone else the entire trip not knowing that everyone else was talking shit about them.
Funny how that works.
Be considerate.
