Sometimes we can get emotional, impassioned, say hasty things, get
excited. You know, put your foot in your
mouth. I think it is a rare human being
who hasn’t wished to unsay something or other.
The difference is when a person says something thoughtless without
intending any harm and the person who deliberately says something vengeful and
only regrets it when repercussions occur.
I think you know who I mean but let’s skip that.
I like it when a person is passionate about something even if I may
not agree with that particular subject or opinion. At least that person is interested in
something. It is much more frustrating
for me to deal with someone who shrugs their shoulders, who barely nods in a conversation
and generally doesn’t open their mouth to give an opinion. Tongue tied I can understand but sitting on a
fence year after year on any topic that could be broached is beyond me. I don’t understand people like that. What are you afraid of? Once you are an adult, you are allowed to
speak up and who’s going to slap you? In
all my years of social interaction I have never since an instance of anyone
being physically slapped down for opening their mouth (granted I have never
really been in a bar or seen a bar fight).
Civilized people don’t hit other people.
So what are you afraid of?
Sounding stupid? Who doesn’t
sound stupid on occasion – we may not say anything but we all think it about
such and so when they’ve said this or that.
But who are we to judge?
People need to let go of their fears and they also need to stop
judging those who say or do. At least
those people are not afraid of speaking up, doing something, letting things go
and getting things done.
And tomorrow I am going to talk about Hillary
Clinton. Get ready.
