I am so irritated today! I had the displeasure of running into a VERY ignorant and intolerant individual on Facebook a little bit ago. Unfortunately there are many, many people like this roaming around this planet...and most of the time I choose to ignore them. Today...for some reason...I felt compelled to say something. I'm not going to get into the details of this "discussion"...that's just gonna irritate me more. I guess I just feel like venting about ignorant and intolerant people in general. Doesn't it seem like the most ignorant and intolerant people are the most vocal?! It does to me. I get really tired of listening to what these people have to say...reading what they're writing. True...I could just tune them out...skip over what they've written (and a lot of times I do)...but if we always did that then those bullies would always win. And that's essentially what they end up being...bullies...and I CAN'T STAND bullies! Every once in a while...there comes a time...when one must stand up to these bullies...try and enlighten them a little. And that's what I tried to do today. Now...this isn't me saying I'm better than anyone else...or that my opinion is always the right one...but I have my values that I hold on to...and those I don't budge on. It certainly didn't seem as if ANYTHING I said to this individual made it through her closed minded skull (in fact...she seemed as if she completely missed my point...too focused on her intolerance)...it was soooooooo irritating! All I can do is hope that someday...something I said made sense...and we end up having one less intolerant person...spouting inaccuracies...teaching her children more intolerance...helping to keep this world a less desirable place. Fingers crossed!
I'll have to admit...after writing this...I feel a lot better. I'm still irritated...but not as much. :)
I've been reading a lot of blogs where people have been doing their "homework" by writing about their crazy dreams. And I was going to totally write about the dream I had last night...as it was a doozy...but after that mess earlier with that individual I just wrote about above...I don't remember any details. I remember it was a doozy and that's it. :( Oh well. Maybe tomorrow.
I've been listening to Massive Attack today.
This is one of my favorites from them. Enjoy!
Have a great Friday...and I wish you all a wonderful weekend! :)
