a change in opinion... for the better

Okay, yesterday I was talking about being cruel. I admitted that I think I was cruel at one point in time, specifically with my sibling. I threatened them with the fact that I would tell their significant other that they cheated on them if they didn't move the significant other out of the house. SO, I said that I was cruel. And I was very upset by this. However I was talking to someone and they told me that I was not being cruel. Without going into details, the conclusion was that I was driven to that point. I was backed into a corner, and what I did was for self-preservation. It was not cruelty! Self-care and preservation of a person is not cruelty, especially if you are backed into a corner. And let's face it, in this situation the only person that is going to care for my well-being is ME! No one else!

If an animal attacks someone because they feel threatened, the animal is defending itself and it's life. Possibly the lives of their young too. It's fight or flight. And I was taking care of myself. The fight was not physical, but it still was a fight. And I know, how threatening is someone's significant other? It's a long story and there ain't enough memory on my computer, let alone space on the internet for that story. But, the significant other living at the house was NOT beneficial to my well-being. Trust me!

So, I'm a not a cruel person. Nor, at that moment in time was a cruel. I'm glad I cleared that one up today... It was really bothering me. Now that I have gotten that out of my system, and on to the world-wide-web, I can breathe a sigh of relief. Ahhhhhh!

Yeah, it's not a source of my anger, but it's a pet-peeve. When you are indoors, TALK WITH YOUR INDOOR VOICE!!!!! You can be consciously aware of how loud you are talking and try to talk softer. Especially if you are a guy that is over 6 feet and 200 pounds and you are working with a bunch of women! I mean, I get it, you needed to project your voice for a reason, however, we are indoors and it's actually quite quiet, so you have NO sound to compete with! I just had to say that. Ahh! That made me feel even more better.

I think we are done here. And as usually I end off with a different way of saying goodbye. Betcha you can't guess what children's show the line is from!!!!

Au revoir! À bientôt! Goodbye! See you soon!
