I got an email today, a copy and paste from a blog really, done anonymously. I don't pretend to know the reasonings as to why, and honestly, I don't care. What it did serve to do was give me my laugh for the day, and due to the news I got from my doctor, which I will share in another post, I was in sore need of a laugh.

While the email was what set things in motion, it got me to thinking on another matter, and opened up a whole other can of worms.

Before all this *rigamaroll* started I had befriended someone I did not know, just reached out, and added them to my buddy list, with the intent to get to know them when I had time.As things progressed..nee..life.. I just never got around to it. I regret that. As things *Flared up* I noticed this person dissappeared off my buddy list, without so much as a *kiss my fluffy* I noticed essentially, this person took a side when the battle lines were drawn, without ever really getting to know me.

The question I put before you all is... how many of us have done that? How many of us have made up our mind not to like some one based on what someone else has said, or what someone else's opinions of that person are? Let's face it, not everyone will get along. There has been many a time, my husband has not cared for someone, and warned me to stay away from them, and I have ended up really taking a shine to them, and being an all the more enriched person for what they have brought to my life.

Who knows what someone has to offer.. or bring to your life.. what gifts, or insight, or knowledge, they bring to the table, if you've closed off your mind, because you've let someone else do your thinking for you.

I see teenagers do it all the time.. *so and so doesn't have these clothes or drive this* or *she's goth* or *he's a goatroper*.... such a waste.

You also don't know what kind of person is really behind the keyboard..and your letting them do your thinking for you?...so perhaps *going with the popular* vote isn't really the best decision.

I urge you all, to think for yourselves, get out, get to know people, form your own opinions....

You never know what you have, till you've cleaned it with Tarn-X.
 
:clapping: well said, especially this bit "I see teenagers do it all the time.. *so and so doesn't have these clothes or drive this* or *she's goth* or *he's a goatroper*.... such a waste. " , or "dont talk to her/him, s/hes emo", "*so and so* says that s/he isnt a nice person and a drama queen" :tongue
 
I concur!

ON a side note:

ZIN - Don't waste your time or energy on the stupidity! You have bigger fish to fry right now! and that stuff isn't worth a thought.
 
My best friend throughout childhood/adolescence/adulthood is, unfortunately, like that. And because of it we lost touch with one another for several years. When I was 21 I met a guy - we actually met at her wedding reception - and we started dating. Not long after she returned from her honeymoon, my friend heard that I was going out with him and she said to me, "David (her husband) knows him and can't stand him. Be careful...maybe you shouldn't see him at all". Well, since my friend hadn't even met this guy, I continued dating the man, and we actually wound up getting engaged. As soon as that happened she told me that she could no longer watch me ruin my life, and she distanced herself from me. It would be many years before she and I would meet again. Unfortunately that was a lot of time lost between friends, simply because of a judgement of a person based upon heresay from someone else.
