People Without
Okay, I had a hard time to decide what to title this article. It is a sensitive issue. Maybe someone can suggest a better title.
There are too many people in society, think bad of anyone, who may have
less than they do. Someone who makes 50,000 a year looks down on the
person, who maybe making 25,000 a year. 75,000, be looking down on the
50,000, etc. Too many people are trying to be impressive, as I always
say. Trying to be better than others. Always putting down some one
who has less.
People are being too busy being judgmental. Looking down on others, because they don't have. Or they are not perfect in looks. Because they are on food stamps. But yet, they are worse, when it comes to respecting or understanding. People are always saying, how others should be living. Maybe that person, wants to be that way.
I remember a movie Lucille Ball was in. She played a street person. She studied a woman on the streets to play the part. When she interviewed a homeless woman, the woman told her. "Me and a rich woman have a lot in common. We both have the same hairdo's, same taste in clothing." Remember, we probably have something in common with these people, but just afraid to admit to it.
All these postings I see about being proud of our Veterans. I find these are the same people putting down, those who have less. Oh, by the way, Ray is a Marine Vet-Vietnam.
Think about it!
A TOWN CALLED SOMEWHERE
We went to a town, I am going to call, Somewhere. It is a nice little town. In this town, lives a man, we will call him Ray. His clothes is what he has on his back, his shoes are what been given to him. His electricity is the light from the sky. His chair might be a log to sit on. His books are at the library. He appreciate the arts and music. His bed is the soft ground or an old blanket he may have to lie on. This is the life he chose for whatever reason. And you know, as to why, it is none of our business. Only if he makes it so.
He is a friendly man. He does errands for different people in town, to provide him food, maybe a little cash, or whatever he needs. Most people, I think, accept him for the way he is and lives. Oh yea, I am sure there are people who look down their nose at him.
Ray was at a restaurant we happen to be in. A woman came in and asked if he payed his tab. Then she chuckled, and was making fun of him. She then went out of the restaurant, came back with a large snake skin, to make a statement as to how big the snake must have been. Then, she walked out, proceeded to leave the shed skin on the bench just outside the restaurant. The owner wasn't too happy about that. Neither was I. Yuck! A helper went out and removed the disgusting thing. What is my point here? This lady who was making an issue out of Ray, in my opinion, was disgusting.

Sarcasm
I think all of us have heard or used sarcasm. Myself, I have used it, as talking about a subject. But, most part, I try not use it against someone. Others (Attackers) use it, as, maybe giving themselves attention. Most of the time, people are being sarcastic toward someone, because, they really don't like that someone. Maybe the Attacker that is throwing the sarcasm, this someone is annoying to them too.
Sarcasm, I find is extremely rude. I remember a lady asked me a question. I don't remember the question. Someone else who was not a part of the conversation threw in some sarcasm on her question. I sort of looked at this person, turned and politely answered her question.
Most of the time, I see Sarcasm, being used, because they really don't care for the person, who is making a statement or asking a question. Sarcasm is used, because they really don't want to hear the conversation. Really don't want to talk right now, because it doesn't "MEAN A THING TO ME!" Also, the conversation is not about the Attacker.
Most don't see it as being rude. They see it as, "If you don't want a stupid answer, don't ask a stupid question." As if they the attacker is the only that is important. It is very rude, and embarrassing, which most of the time, the Attacker is after. Otherwise, being rude. I see it as being self centered.
People tend to ask, ere uh, stupid questions, maybe to start a conversation. If the Attacker can't see this, then they are the stupid ones. And once again, Rude. If the Attacker, don't want to be sociable, then, excuse yourself and walk away. Oh, I guess that would be good manners.
I have found myself asking a stupid question or making a comment just to start a conversation. I get a stupid sarcastic remark. So in turn, I say, "Excuse me for up setting you." "Excuse me, for bothering you" "Oh, I wasn't aware, you didn't want to talk to me". I haven't said, "Oh, I am sorry you're not friendly". I have heard some people, come right out and say "You're Rude!" Or walk away saying to someone else, "Talk about being rude".
Then you get some Attackers, that will make a remark, not realizing, the person is making an analogy, joking, etc. Duh, otherwise, wasn't intended to be serious. So, the Attacker, has made themselves look stupid, trying to draw attention on themselves with their sarcasm. Ha, good job Attacker.
Sarcasm, is very ill mannered. Guess its something, some people never learned. You know, No One, is perfect. Attackers seem to think they have the right to be critical and expect others to be perfect, for them. They really don't think out what they are attacking. It's almost like an excuse to take out their frustrations out on someone. Sort of, being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
There are attackers just like being mean. They think its funny to embarrass and degrade the person. And the person, feelings are hurt. The Attacker, really don't care. Once again, being self centered and not thinking of others they have thrown sarcasm on.
Well, maybe when it comes time for the attacker to be standing in front of the Pearly Gates. Ask the question, not knowing they died, "Is this heaven?"
They might get an answer, they don't want.
Well, I had my say.
Thank you
