Just a question ...


Why is everyone so damn emotional?

Why when you tell someone something honestly, do they FIRST take offence, SECOND get angry that you spoke the truth, THIRD get upset that you would "think that way about them", before FINALLY realizing that you were right.

If you tell someone they're f*#king up, instead of thinking "shit, am I?", they think and often say ... "what do you know, you don't know what you're talking about". But, in most instances they do, the hardest thing for most people is self-reflection ... sorry OBJECTIVE self-reflection. Not because they don't know how to judge themselves or question their own actions, rather they are afraid to do so, because of what they might discover.

Next time, before you flip out at the way someone tells you something, maybe you should consider what is being told. There is something to be learned from any person you meet, encounter or have a relationship with throughout life. Don't be so quick to react or defend yourself, before you are even certain you're being attacked.

Take a step back, a look in the mirror and assess yourself, because we're all flawed, just many of us are afraid to find out what those flaws are and once we have, to admit them.
