People

We can be quite mean, uncaring, spiteful, uncivil, ignorant and unkind. We can let small things get in the way of being good friends and being happy. We stew over actions and statements, thinking and re-thinking, ‘why did they do this, what did they mean?’

Some might isolate a person just because they don’t like them. Or perhaps they feel jealous or find them annoying or have nothing in common. I wish people were more forgiving or gave people the benefit of doubt. It’s natural to be doubtful and judgmental. But those doubts and snap judgments should not cloud ones ability to take in the character of an individual and get to know them better.

Well if you still can’t stand them, don’t just blank them and not communicate. Be civil.

Everyone has the power to accommodate; you don’t have to change anything about yourself to be accommodating. It just involves having a big mind and a big heart.
