Does anyone ever have those times in life when you say to yourself to remember how something felt so that you don't make someone else feel that way? Yes, I just had one of those moments. I wish that people would get to know others better. By that I mean knowing their temperaments that way not offending them.
In life I have found out that one of the few ways to be at peace with others is by understanding them and knowing that people are different. What might offend A might not offend B depending on personality. Sometimes I feel like I spend a lot of time trying to understand people but people don't take time to understand me. I don't get upset when strangers offend me but when someone who knows me does I ask myself, "Why would you do that?" For me, sorry is a word that comes out of my mouth easily, I even say it when it's not my fault and when it's totally my fault I acknowledge and never repeat the mistake (This is actually one of my strength).
What is my point? I guess people will always offend you no matter what you do. Even when they know you don't like something, they still do it. But you can choose to be happy and learn from your experiences and how you felt so that you can be a better person. One thing I ask myself before I do something is, "Would I want someone to do the same for me?" If my answer is yes then I would do it and if my answer is no then I just don't do it.
Anyway, this is just me ranting about not treating others as one would like to be treated. Have you ever had those moments? And what was your reaction?
How did you or a friend handle the situation?
