TRUTH

Hey Everyone,

Thinking back on a night that got my blood boiling. I get so irritated when people think because you don't tolerate certain people, that you "hate" everyone. So frustrating.

I can't say I don't have "hate" for a few select people. I've had some people really go out of their way to "hate" me. I have had people do some really ugly things to me and then there are others that just can't seem to keep my name from coming outta their mouth. I know it's not right to have hate and for the few people I have that emotion toward ... I'm working on it. But I don't "hate" overall.

This is life. I do dislike the way a lot of people are. So what!? I never just dislike someone for no reason. Its cause they have personally affected me or my life in a really negative way.

I'm no different than anyone else though. If you listen to conversations you will hear that people use the terms "can't stand her" and "hate him" all the time. But it's not necessarily literal!

The fact is that this world is made up of all kinda of different people and because of that - personalities clash. I'm not saying the type of person I dislike is "bad" or the type of person I am is "good" or necessarily always likable.

I was with at a hair appt recently and my stylist and I were talking about this. How people that say "I am nice to everyone. Everyone likes me" -- are just not realists!

Quote of the day goes to him. He said - "This isn't Americas Best Friend".

HaHa. So true. It's real life baby.

Not everyone will agree with me, but the older I get the less I care to pretend to be "besties" with everyone. It's too much work. THIS is life. Everyone has enemies...legit or not. In the least, someone has got to be getting on your nerves. If not .. I want what your on!

In the meantime. Let me state for the record - I can count on ONE hand people I truly have real "hate" for. And again - I am working on that and I pray that those feelings go away.

As for people I don't like -- there are quite a few pretty LONG LISTS actually. Why? Well, let's just say, my first bumper sticker said "Mean People Suck". I've learned that it should really just say "Most People Suck".

Grace and Peace To You
