I'm having problems dealing with the way people treat other people. I've tried very hard in my life to treat the people around me, including complete strangers, the way I would like to be treated. Sometimes I do really well...other times I let whatever nasty emotion casting a shadow over my heart come through and pounce on those around me like some rabid animal. Luckily, these times are few and far between, but knowing that I am capable of those moments drives me all the harder to do my best and keep the beast at bay. I just wish other people tried a little harder to understand each other, tried a little harder to accept (not tolerate) each other. Respect one another.
The way I'm headed, I'll be sitting on a wooden porch in no time, rocking to and fro in a creaking rocking chair, watching the grass grow and mumbling curses about how there's "No respect" anymore in the world. Sigh.
