A side of respect and sincerity, please!

(((SCREAMING))) Oh my goodness! What happened to the days when people were nice to each other and did things sincerely for each other? And thought before they acted or spoke? I mean it's so easy these days to do something wrong and then turn right around and say "I'm sorry." Where has the value and sincerity gone these days? Do we not value the time of our friends and family anymore? Does it not matter that we make decisions, not caring who it inconveniences?

Can you tell I'm a little frustrated here? LOL I just don't understand people who are so willing to change things or make a decision when it will effect a large group of people or your friend or your co-worker or your family . . . . and not be concerned that it could inconvenience people. They are only looking through the peephole and not seeing the whole picture. For the most part, I try to stick with my plans. If I tell you I'm going to be somewhere, if I'm going to meet you, if I'm going to call you, etc. you can usually bet that I will. I'm not one to break my plans with you for better things to do, or because I really don't feel like it, or what ever the case may be. I know what its like to be on the other side and it hurts, it can be an inconvenience not only to you but to other people. People that are unreliable and inconsistent make me crazy! And after a while, you can bet that I will stop helping those type people . . . . or making plans with them.

Or what about the whole Kanye West and Taylor Swift thing? That was a huge moment for her - a dream moment that she will never get back. And even though Beyonce welcomed her back on stage to give her a second chance, you can't do a once in a lifetime - first time excitement moment again. He robbed her of that! How do you just say, "I'm sorry" for ruining that moment? Think about your actions before you ruin some one's moment! Maybe their moment may not be as big as Taylor's, but don't be a Kanye. And when you say you're sorry for something - mean it sincerely.

How about the people that love their jobs? You know the ones - the ones in customer service that treat you - the customer - with a lack of respect. The ones that don' realize we came to them for a service and we have the option not to use them again! Seriously, if ya don't like your job - either make the best of it and be glad you are one of the lucky ones that still has a job or move on and let someone who needs a job have yours. I mean really people is it that hard to smile and be polite and offer assistance!? Everyone in this world cannot be having a bad day, all day, everyday!


(((taking a deep breath))) Ok, I think I feel a little better now. Thank you. :-)
