selfish equals annoying
2005-10-05
so many people i come in contact with are sooo self- absorbed. it is really bugging me lately. how can some be so selfish and so ME ME ME and not look to others around them who may have physical and emotional needs? i dont want to hear any crap about how BUSY we all are- that is not an excuse as far as i am concerned. we are all BUSY , whether we work, stay home, etc.... we all have lives , families, kids, etc. I cannot STAND selfishness. can you tell i am all worked up? this whole katrina thing, and everyone is all talk- yada yada, someone else will help them, or if hurricanes are not your passion,. look around your church , your neighborhood, your family, your friends. no one seems to give a crap about anybody but them selves .
this is really hitting home lately, because we are trying to give money away as fast as possible- we dont really HAVE it to give, yet we can't afford not to, if you follow. too many needs out there- too many people going without.
no one really lends kind words - a lot of times there are hidden innuendos, little jabs, sarcasm--which i am beginning to LOATHE as it is just rude!, . can't ya just pay a compliment? your hair is gorgeous today, or i love your smile it is so encouraging, or good job with this or that. we are all wrapped up in our own families and kids. and i tell ya what, if we are not teaching these valuable truths to our children, we are totally neglecting making them caring adults. your kids watch you , you know that right? do they see you tithe? or do they see you bitching about not having anything? do they come with you to make a meal or someone just because? or do they hear you bitching about having to go all the way across town to deliver it.
i know my standards are high- my mom taught me well. i get hurt because i hold the same standards to my friends and family. it is annoying.
there are a few people out there who are compassionate and sensitive, so i am not talking about you. sorry for the rant-
off to eat some sugar free oreo ice cream pie left over from wesleys birthday.

AAAHHHHH! Wesley's birthday! Why can't I get it in my head that it's at the beginning of the month and not the 28th!? I know he just told me that, too! Better get on the phone right away! I hope you're not talking about me, b/c I promise I wasn't being self-absorbed to think it was later. I'm just dumb.
I feel better. I got a tithing thing from my church the other day for stewardship. I always thought that they looked down on you if you didn't give a whole 10%. I tithe whenever I can, and as much as I can, but it's nowhere near 10%. The letter I got said that you should start off small and work your way up to 10% over a few years, so you can work your budget around it. That made me feel so much better, and now I'm going to even sign my name when I give my money at church!

I'm one of those people who put my family before everyone else. Can't help it, they are my responsibility. I know what you mean about how people treat each other, backstab, etc. I see that everyday at work.

Working in a large company with a bunch of caddy women - people are sooo back stabbing! I was taught to treat others how you want to be treated!!! Its like gossip central-
