I've been critical of someone for a few months now. I'm still critical at times of their work ethic and their choices, but now, knowing more about their situation and what they do just to be present, I have softened my stance. Yesterday, this person, who I never expected was that person, played a prank. The timing of it was suspect but hilarious, but the effort to achieve it deserves respect. As someone who still feels young at heart, I have a very changed view of this person. Sometimes it's just being silly when the rest of the world is serious, that allows us to see the real you. It also made glaringly clear the difference between silliness and childishness. Job well-done!
Most people I know do not care about knowing the truth or facts, they only care about being the one who passes along information. I wonder if I could privately ask people why they use social media (honestly), what their reason would be. I don't think people without a sense of humor, realize how much fun the world can be. Even during the hard times. So many of us spend time thinking of mistakes and regrets, but if we really think about it, we've probably dodged more bullets than missed boats. You know when you sit by yourself reading, sipping some coffee or tea and you don't think about anything, but what you're doing? That!
