I'm not so sure about people sometimes* -_-
Some don't seem to ever understand the concept of "bridling their tongues." It's something I've learned to do recently, advice from my stepdad. Scripture says, "The fool speaketh all that is on his mind." Sometimes, we really just need to keep our mouths shut. It's not always a bad thing.
Others don't know how to let things go. Forgive and forget. Do it! You can't just forgive. I'm sorry. Not really. But... You have to forgive and forget to have truly forgiven someone. Don't tell me otherwise. I know, and He says so. Things have happened to me, things other people have also gone through, and you know what? I get over it. I let it go. I understand it and I let it go. If it happens again, I recognize it. I accept it. Then I let go. I detach. If I can do it, just another human being, so can you. Need extra help to let go? Pray about it. Pray for Him to help soften your heart. Pray for that strength. It CAN be done, especially when He's with you and helping you.
Some people assume. Assumptions are usually based off of surface things. Assumptions are usually based off of one side of the story. Assumptions tend to be biased. So, I think: Try to assume as little as possible. Try to find out the facts. Try to find out all sides of the story. It's not fair to people, ya know? Besides, you tend to look real ignorant when you assume. I'm sure you don't want that.. Nobody does.
Others seem to think that people have to change under certain circumstances, and others think people are always the same and always will be. People are who they are. Certain interests and habits stick, ya know? Those aren't suddenly labeled "taboo" because of the past. They will pass on. Also: People CAN change for the better. Most of us have in some ways, big and small. We correct ourselves. We learn. Trial and error. Experience.
Some people... are simply ridiculous. We are all hasty and irrational at times, but some really need to learn to take a step back and look at the bigger picture. Catch yourself when jumping to conclusions, and think about it.
Others are a lovely combination of all the above.
It makes me feel bad for them.
*This is a mix of annoyance, disbelief, and frustration. It's my crazy ego (reality principle) and cold-hard-truth tendencies kicking in. My ego (reality principle) and cold-hard-truth tendencies aren't always the nicest, especially when they're annoyed.
