I am amazed at the audacity of some people. When I say that, I mean people who will stoop to levels that I hadn't even imagined before. I think it is much worse when they are people who I put a lot of faith and trust in previously. It is sad to me to think that we wonder why kids are picked on and/or bullied continuously at school, but we forget to look at how we treat other adults around us. Our children do not learn this in the womb. They do not learn to disrespect people at birth. They learn this from us as they grow. When we hate, they think this is the "norm". When we cheat people, they think this is okay. If you want to call yourself a leader, a role model, etc. then you should always, all ways be one. We have to start thinking about how our actions affect other people, not just ourselves.
I had a talk with my Mom about this today. She brought up a very valid point. She said "You know, people that behave this way must be very miserable." That is so simple, but when we are on the receiving end of the bullying it is hard to think about anyone else but our own turmoil. I need to pray for the person treating me so poorly instead of thinking about how this is making me feel. I hope and pray that this person can come to terms with all of the bad in their life and let go of the anger that they are feeling so that no one else has to suffer. I am so happy in my life that I just cannot fathom treating someone in such an awful way.
