Well, another day has passed. Tomorrow and tomorrow and tommorrow creeps by . . . oh how slowly. I was looking back at this journal and saw an older entry where I dicussed the importance of lifting people up. I dicussed it briefly, but I think I would like to get back to it.
When someone makes a positive or negative statement to someone else, in any circumstance, that statement is likely to go with the other person. The commenter might forget it, but chances are little "Betty Jane" is never going to forget a passing comment about a big butt, or a stuck up personality. I sometimes will remember little thing I have heard from others about me and the comments always stick deeply, and move me one way or the other.
It is not that I care what peope think, it is only pure emotional response. Especially when I feel vernerable, these responses are harder to control. They are not always, bad . . .
I am not saying that people should obcess with what others think of them, though I do think it is important to have a good social standing (be know as truthful, honest, pure, so that you can count on friends, and you can count on having the trust and respect you need if you ever need to "cry wolf"). I think if people only concentrated not on other faults of faliies, but only on building other up, the Prozac company would vertually lose all its buisness.
I say only that each person wields the power to change the world, and create ripples that will spread in way they may not imagine. If everyone of us were to realize this power, this self-worth, and treat others and themselves with respect . . . it would just be a whole heck of a lot better then the mass depression and hollow fornication we have now,
It may not be the anwer to life,
but that is today's rant =)
