PEOPLE ARE DIFFERENT

Life is wonderful.  It depends on how you see it and the perspective in which you stand to view. Life is wonderful because it is made up of various kinds of people. Life comes with beautiful, ugly, nasty, wicked, lovely, courageous, funny, foolish, silly, kind, wonderful and sad people!...I am sure you can think of variations not mentioned above.

Life is wonderful because a kind person can in one minute be kind; the next minute is foolish, the next minute be silly and finally settle back to his or her kind self. I am saying this because I have met people with funny characters especially at my working environment. It would take a lot to try and deal with some types of people but it is possible.

What is imperative is understanding what you want from a person and understanding boundaries that have been placed which you must respect about every individual. This is because you do not know what people have been through all their lives and the issues they are presently dealing with making them the way they are now. Try and put yourself in the other person's shoes once in a while and you may appreciate why they have turned out as nasty or as wicked as they are now. People may have been taken for granted, treated harshly, been disappointed several times, or may have been abused for such a long while that they turned out as nasty as they are now. If you put yourself in their shoes it may be easy to deal with them and with love in your heart.

Now don’t get me wrong I am one person who believes you should not allow the issues of life affect you negatively that you now become repulsive or a terror to others around you. I don’t believe you should become so ugly in character and personality just because of what life has thrown at you. Instead it is possible to still radiate dignity, poise, beauty and still remain a person everyone would like to be in contact with irrespective of your history.

The next thing to do is determine why you are where you are with that same ‘nasty’ person and for how long you would need to be in constant contact with that person. If you are clear about your priorities you will readily ignore a lot and not let certain things bother you as such. If however you are the ‘nasty’ person do take note that it is just a matter of time….life will throw more your way that would keep you in that state…what goes around comes around! You can’t eat your cake and have it..whatever you sow you reap!



...remember there is always a better way
