For Cryin' Outloud!?!?

Well, several weeks have passed since i last wrote for my blog and if anything i can say for sure is that i never cease to be amazed by people and the things they say out loud....

Perhaps it's the thought that somehow because we think a certain thing or feel a certain way, we believe that people just have to take whatever we dish out to them... that somehow we can say whatever we want to someone or about someone and that should be perfectly fine.

Well it's not... and if there is one thing every single one of us could learn is how to make sure that what ends up coming out of our "pie-hole", first passes through that thing we loosely refer to as a brain...

By now you are probably thinking... sheesh who ticked Rob off this week... well let's just say, it's not so much a person but an apparent mental and emotional immaturity that's reared it's head again this week in sooooooo many ways, too numerous to count!

Some people say whatever they want no matter how mean because they truly believe that it's best to "speak the truth", the main problem with this approach is that you can speak the "truth" all you want but if haven't gained "the right" to speak the "truth" to someone else, in the end you end up sounding like a really, really mean and ill-mannered, boorish lout!

i also think that some people "spew" their "truth" because it's a really convenient way to hide behind their own "stuff"... you know what i mean... some of us are so busy pointing out where everyone else is a "screw up" that we never deal with where we personally are screwy! And listen, there is nothing wrong with being messed up, the problem is when we choose (even when we know better) to stay messed up!

Anyway, all of that to say, civility is not a lost virtue... c'mon folks that's not so hard... is it? Let me know... maybe you have a different take on this whole subject...
