"Resentments is like taking poison and waiting for the other person to die."
I just have to try to breath, and remind myself that this is a narrow-minded sheltered person who simply has failed to recognize that not everyone has a stuck-up prudish attitude about sex (different people/cultures have different beliefs, not everyone conforms to your set). I have to try to understand that this person is simply incapable and too dense to have a mature conversation, rather than making iniquitous decrees based on misunderstandings, because they're inherently self-centered. I have to realize that they have not considered whether they should or even can be held to the same standards. They obviously do not understand the true meaning of forgiveness and do not understand that the same may be applied to them when they make a mistake. This person does not have the imagination to fathom how such a punishment could be so excruciating because they have never had to work very hard, sacrifice much of anything, have never dedicated themselves to anything for very long, or had to support their family by themselves via their own career. I have to try to accept that being punished for being honest and sharing my feelings is indeed just, because I did not have the right to have such inclinations. I have to accept that thinking my professional contribution is important is a fallacy. I am not wanted or needed. I have to realize that not everyone who says they care really cares, and that people are disposable.
Mahatma Ghandi said, "You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty," but I say it's tainted.
He said "aim at purifying your thoughts and everything will be well," but he is wrong.
He is right when he said "Freedom is not worth having if it does not connote freedom to err. It passes my comprehension how human beings, be they ever so experienced and able, can delight in depriving other human beings of that precious right."
Not being welcome to participate may be a small freedom to lose, but it means a lot to me.
Recoger la ropa!
