Ok where are they? Who? The ignorant people, Oh they are indeed everywhere! Let's review the meaning of ignorant. Ignorant, is the lacking of knowledge or awareness in general; uneducated or unsophisticated. But let’s be fair here. When we say uneducated, let's only refer to being uneducated in certain areas. Not having knowledge of how to respectfully act in public, or around people. Say whatever one may feel regardless to a person’s feelings or concerns. For instance, my sister has three beautiful children, and she gets compliments about them wherever they go. People have literally came up to her and say “oh what beautiful children you have” and my sister would respectfully and kindly reply, Oh Thank You, and then they would say, they must look just like their father! (ignorant people).
That person who always have something negative to say, a comment or opinion that always is the opposite of what you are saying or what you are doing.(ignorant people). Or how about those that have something competitive to say every time you mention anything good about your life. For example, “my daughter finally got an A on her math test”. Oh my daughter always gets an A on her math test! (ignorant people). Those in which who only have two words to say to you when you are feeling bless, or when you finally got that new BMW, there words are, oh that’s good. But when you are down, and you feel like shit, there words are; girl I’m here for you, tell me more about, and how you feel again, oh I’m going to help you get through this. And once you rise and you actually get through and you call them and say “I Got That Job”! First there’s a hesitation, then; Oh ok, well let me call you back. (ignorant people).
I also learn that the more you let people get comfortable with you, the more they find it necessary to give you free advice about your life, or ask you personal questions in which they use against you later. The way that I avoid ignorant people is to not entertain them. Nor let them in too personally. Whatever relationship you may have with a person rather if it’s a colleague, friend at the gym, or potential blog friend, don’t let them in so personally, where they could emotionally affect you on what they may say or do.
Sounds like your struggling with some stuff or people in your life. I just wanted to stop by and say hang in there! People are dumb! I read a quote the other day and shared it with my sister and I thought I'd share it with tonight: "A wise person once said- There comes a time in your life, when you walk away from all the drama and people who create it. You surround yourself with people who make you laugh, forget the bad, and focus on the good. So, love the people who treat you right; pray for the ones who don't. Life is too short to be anything but happy. Falling down is a part of life; getting back up is living"
ReplyDeleteThinking of you tonight!
yes indeed ashley, I'm am struggling among the strength I don't have. The hard part for me is that I can't walk away from it cause it's people I work with. I am such a happy person. I now feel drain of my happiness trying to drown out the stress and worries. I've falling many of times, I'm just so tired and barely have enough strength to keep getting up.
ReplyDeletethank you ashley so much for that quote, my happiness is the one thing I can at least fight for.
