I have to say I am a person who will tell you exactly what I think, no holds barred, but I also know when to hold my tongue in certain situations. I think I have held my tongue so long in a lot of recent situations that I'm surprised I haven't bitten it off. I am a very opinionated person who is often outspoken and those who really know me know this WELL. Most times like I said, I can keep it bottled up because my grandma taught me better and it does no service to the situation to say something. My problem recently is the fact that there are people in this world who can find nothing better than to find fault with your work or do nothing but try to tear down any and every thing you do. They can find fault even if you gave them a million dollars on a gold platter.
It seems these people convince themselves that they are right in what they do and do not use the filter between their mouth and brain. Wait, let me correct that. Between their brain and fingers. Most people have taken to the numerous uses of multimedia to air grievances, or to start general confusion. It's very easy to hide yourself behind a computer or smartphone and say things that someone normally wouldn't say in person. I have a hard time with this. If it serves no purpose other than to create problems why say anything at all? I have been told all my life that I can be naive when it comes to other people or I tend to look at the world through rose-colored glasses because I an eternal optimist and think every person I meet has nothing but goodness in them. So, when I finally see different I am disappointed and have to hear "I told you so's" from everyone else. What I really want to know is how come people can be so miserable in their life that everything they write or say is so negative? Why do they go through life so unhappy with everyone and especially people who are trying to do something really good with their life? I thought what I was doing was something fun and something I think can help out a lot of other people with but there is always someone around every corner who tries at every post or picture or whatever to say something negative.
I guess my trouble is that I don't understand these people because they are my polar opposite. I like
people happy and love to see people successful. I'm not a jealous or spiteful person. I'm also not, depending on the state of my coffee intake, a miserable person. Too little or no coffee makes me an unhappy girl. Maybe, these people have no coffee in their lives or no friends or no soul. Who knows? Everyone has a different story to tell. Some people choose to let these things bring them down and in turn take it out on everyone else and then there's the others who just can't let life pull at them no matter what and can't be brought down. Choosing how to look at life is all dependent on who you are and what kind of person you are. I know I choose to look at the bright side more times than should be allowed by law but, well, I don't choose to be any other way. For those who choose the opposite, I feel for you. I really do. Just don't try to bring me and everyone else with you. I know we're all different but I think I'll keep these rose colored glasses a while longer.
