FRIENDSHIPS- WHAT THEY REALLY ARE--

HEY EVERYONE-- I KNOW A CHEESY TITLE BUT I HAVE SOMETHING SOME FOLKS MAY THINK IS CHEESY TO SAY!! CHEESY OR NOT- ITS SOMETHING THAT IS IMPORTANT TO ME AND I THINK IS SOMETHING IMPORTANT IN GENERAL!
THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF FACEBOOK DRAMA LATELY- PEOPLE BEING MEAN TO OTHERS , ARGUING,ATTACKING OTHERS. I HAVE YET TO SEE ON THAT ACTUALLY MERITED THE REACTIONS ON THE WALLS! I HAVE YET TO SEE ONE THAT WAS JUSTIFIED - NOW THE ISSUE MAY BE SOMETHING THAT NEEDED TO BE CONFRONTED BUT SOME FOLKS HAVE USED LITTLE TO NO TACT- BREAKING UP FRIENDSHIPS OVER PETTY STUFF. LETTING EGO AND PRIDE GET IN THE WAY-LETTING ONES ON SELFISHNESS TAKE CONTROL AND SAY F'EM TO THEIR FRIENDS AND FAMILY. THE OTHER SAD THING IS THIS- SOME FOLKS DEFEND THIS BEHAVIOR AND STAND BY THIER FRIENDS AND FAMILIES THOUGHTS AND ATTITUDES WITHOUT TAKING IN CONSIDERATION THERE IS TWO SIDES TO THE STORY OR MAYBE THEY JUST DONT CARE TO KNOW ,OR WORSE YET- ARE AS BAD AS THE ONES ATTACKING . MY POINT IS THIS- STAND HONORABLY , STAND RESPECTFULLY,ACT THE WAY YOU WISH OTHERS WOULD ACT TOWARDS YOU- TREAT YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY WITH RESPECT AND LOVE. STAND UP FOR WHAT IS RIGHT- NOT YOUR OPINION- BUT WHAT IS RIGHT AND JUST- BE NOBLE AND HONORABLE IN ALL YOU DO. IF YOUR WRONG- BE MAN OR WOMAN ENOUGH TO ADMIT IT-IT IS EASIER THAT WAY THEN TO BURN BRIDGES WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILY .
I KNOW I AM ON A SOAPBOX- BUT I HATE SEEING MY FRIENDS GO THROUGH CRAP THAT IS AVOIDABLE IF COMMON DECENCY AND RESPECT WERE BEING USED AND ADHERED TO- I HATE SEEING PEOPLE SIDE WITH PEOPLE WHO HAVE PUBLICLY BASHED FRIENDS AND FAMILY, WITHOUT HAVING COURAGE TO KNOW THE WHOLE STORY- TO HAVE ALL THE FACTS BEFORE THEY COME TO RESCUE.
SOMETIMES THAT BIG SQUARE BOX MAY NOT BE A BREAD BOX, IT MIGHT BE A TOOL BOX- SO ASK AND HAVE COURAGE ENOUGH TO GET ALL FACTS BEFORE STANDING YOUR GROUND WITH SOMEONE WHO HAS BEEN ATTACKING PEOPLE FOR KNOW REASON- REPEATEDLY ! MAYBE THERE IS A REASON SOME FOLKS KEEP LOSING FRIENDS- LOSING SUPPORT - MAYBE ITS THE ATTITUDE !
TAKE SOME ADVICE FROM BILL AND TED- "BE EXCELLENT TO ONE ANOTHER" - CAN WE ALL DO THIS ?? BELIEVE ME- ITS SO MUCH EASIER THEN BEING AN ASSHOLE- AND LESS STRESSFUL FOR YOURSELF AND OTHERS!
I AM THROUGH- SORRY TO BE ON SOAP BOX FOR SO LONG- BUT THIS IS PERSONAL TO ME AS WELL AS I HAVE SEEN IT TONS IN LAST FEW MONTHS ON FACEBOOK- CONSTANT ARGUING - AND THAT IS NOT WHAT LIFE IS ABOUT-
