Really?

This pic (on the bottom, mobile doesn't let me pick where the image is :/ ) was on my fb feed today. I completely disagree. People always wonder why society is the way it is. It's because of stupid crap like this being circulated & worse, ACCEPTED as truth.

Do people really think they shouldn't ever be required to explain themselves? Because that, to me, is single-minded & selfish thinking. If I do something you consider very out of my character (we're going with something negative), wouldn't you like an explanation as to why I did it? Or would you rather go ahead & condemn or punish? What about you? Maybe you're extremely stressed, over-worked & haven't had enough sleep for weeks. This might make you snap & be ugly to me with little provocation. Wouldn't you WANT me to ask why? What's wrong? Listen to you explain your circumstances so I can understand? Or should I just be angry & not talk to you?

It kills me that people care SO LITTLE about other people, special circumstances & experiences, about their feelings & think they should never have to ever explain their actions or words.

I am so tired of the selfishness in our world. The definition of real love is caring more about another persons happiness than your own. Even if it makes you uncomfortable. If its not dangerous, illegal or immoral...then why not go along with it? Even if it's JUST to make them happy.

Surprisingly, when I was watching an episode of "Ice Loves Coco", Ice-T hit the nail right on the head. Coco wanted to take their dog to find a gf so he could get married. Ice thought it was stupid, didn't understand it at all & disagreed with doing it. But not only did he allow it, he PARTICIPATED, without complaint, because it made Coco happy. When he explained it he said, "hey, if it makes her happy & causes no harm to our marriage, why wouldn't I?"

Anybody else surprised? This is the man who got in trouble for his song (album?) called 'F*** the Police'. This used-to-be gangsta rapper got it right without even trying. He didn't need to make her bend to his will. THAT'S LOVE.

Why is the divorce rate so high? Not only because we choose to leave God out of it, but because many times we forget there's another person too!! We are so wrapped up with 'I'. "I feel..., I want..., I need..., I am comfortable with..., I don't want..., I say..., what about me?" mentality.

Well what about your spouse, your kids, your extended family & your friends? What about putting them BEFORE you? If EVERYBODY did that then everybody would feel loved, wanted, needed, important, valued, respected & happy. Because while you're putting your wife's needs ahead of your own, she's doing the same & nobody's needs aren't being met.

So everybody....stop loving yourself so much that there's no room to love anybody else. Challenge yourself to put their needs first for 2 weeks without complaint or telling them you are. If they love you then I GUARANTEE they'll start doing the same & you'll be happier. If they don't then maybe, just maybe...they're not the one.
