followthatdog: If only we were all mindreaders this would be so much easier!

Troy aka: When you add “when necessary” it leaves room for judgment. Ultimately, each person is his own judge, period.

There’s a way to get everything you want, and being patient and kind is not the same thing as being a “pussy.” It actually takes a much bigger person to be able to pursue what he wants while being considerate of the impact of his choices.

I do agree that a person needn’t be victimized by life, though, and to speak up or step up when necessary, even if others will think it rude or obnoxious.

There’s a big difference between cutting in line to get what you want, and be clear about what you want as you share time and space with your fellow human beings.

followthatdogs last blog post..No matter what he says, I am hilarous.

It’s nicer when people say what they mean. Just that word “nice” has so many meanings. Does it mean “being a doormat and never actually showing your impatience even though you want to strangle someone”? Or “I spent an internship up in Canada where they apologize for everything as a matter of course”? Or does it mean you’re a fucking Gandhi? I actually like Gandhi, but then he was really nice in thoroughly pissing off the British to the point they got cultural jaundice. Nice to see it done that way.

Lisa: See, I revved up your aggression didn’t I? Feels good, right? Sometimes we need a nudge to get good and angry.

SpiritBeautiful: Being direct is the best approach in almost *every* situation.

I’m a Registrar at a college, so I deal with a lot of people every day, sometimes people are upset or just need to be heard. I think a little mutual respect goes a long way, and I appreciate it when people are fair with me. “Do unto others…”

There’s a way to get what you want and not be a bitch about it.
