That’s right. People need to start restecp’ing each other more.
When meeting strangers, I give everyone the benefit of the doubt. In saying that, I still exercise some level of caution and judgement on a person by person basis.
What I try really hard not to do however, is discriminate based on race, looks, or gender. I give all people the opportunity to prove whether they’re awesome or fuckwits. In saying this, it’s still a subjective viewpoint… because even fuckwits have people that they treat well.
Treating people in the manner which you would like to be treated appears to be a winning formula. You most certainly won’t get treated perfectly in return all the time, but it’s still important to retain a positive attitude towards others unless they prove unworthy of your time.
Hand in hand with this principle, is the ability to understand why people behave the way they do, and to exercise the capability to forgive and get over things. Some fuckwits are not even aware that they’re being fuckwits… and rather than just blatantly pointing it out to them (making them think that you’re a fuckwit), make an effort to set a better example in the hope that they learn something about their ways.
Learning to balance patience & forgiveness with dismissal is something that can take a lifetime… and some people will never learn. The sooner people start however, the sooner the world will become a better place. Everybody needs a second and third chance… sometimes it takes great strength of character to offer this, and sometimes you just have to let go and dismiss a person. This type of judgement is again a subjective one, wherein you must decide whether it’s against your best interests to pursue dealings with someone…. or if a positive outcome is possible & worth it.
I’m not saying I’m perfect…. far from it in fact. What I am saying is this:
Karma is real. It works in ways that we don’t always understand… but rest assured that if you treat people right, you’ll largely get treated right in return.
Today’s word is redemption. Everybody has the chance to redeem themselves… not for anyone else’s benefit but their own.
- Peace

you should read this post again after posting all that abusive crap on that poor dudes dollar homepage. practice what you preach y’all.

All that abusive crap ? Hang on a second, I was hardly abusive, I just said he should get a real job.
Here we have a degenerate member of society who is more happy to ask for charity than to put actual hard work in for what he wants.
Tell me, why should he deserve to get free money ? He isn’t even doing anything amusing for it or earning it in any way. He’s just blatantly asking for it. Therefore I am practicing what I preach, I looked at his site with an open mind, saw what was happening, and voiced my opinion about it.
The first time it was deleted, and the second time around he has removed the ability for people to leave comments. Why ? Because if people reject his plan, he won’t get rich… but if no one can leave negative feedback, then he has more chance of ignorant people willingly giving him their dollars, not realising what a fat rip they’re getting.
It’s an investment in laziness.
In short, fuck you, you should have thought this through properly.
