Whatevs

A few weeks ago I had a blog address sent to me to check out.  I went to the blog and read the meanest things. The person was putting themselves on a pedestal while trashing all these other people, and not just little digs either.  I am a judgmental person, I acknowledge that and at times I embrace it, but this was horrible.  As I explained the difference to a friend who also checked out the blog, we decided that I am a light hearted judger not harsh and mean.  I am friends with some of the people that blogger was so horrible about and I was pissed!  I thought of all the things that I should do to show her how awful she is.  I gave it about a day and then realized how sad that person is and now I try harder to be a better person and friend every time I think about her.  So while she will live the rest of her life miserable and mean, I will be taking something from her grumpiness and become a better person.  Maybe eventually I can put myself on a pedestal and look down on the rest of the crowd....naw, I think I like the view from the ground!

Another incident occurred in the last few days.  I was telling a friend about a conversation with a lady at church, I was telling church lady about a girl that is less active and what I thought would help.  The lady treated me like I was an idiot and talked down to me like I was stupid.  She doesn't know the girl, I barely know the girl but I left frustrated (which is not the first time that I have talked to her and felt that way after, neither is it the second...or third for that matter).  Anyway I was relaying this story about frustrating church lady to  friend and she said something to the effect of don't waste your time on her she is never coming back to church because of blah, blah, blah.   I was shocked, I happen to know that friend has dealt with similar problems and come back to Church.  I hate it when people don't remember where they came from!  That is one of my biggest pet peeves.  I have a Brother in Law (not one any of you probably know) that was quite the wild guy.  It was all before I met him but I have heard the stories.  He is a church goer know but would be the first one to condemn another for the same stuff that he went through.  AHHHHH!!!  

I hope to never be the condemn-er, I guess it is just another thing to think about, be aware of, and improve upon.  so that is just what I will do!
