let it be someone else's problem.

"My attitude is based on how you treat me." was a quote on someone's FB page and I have to disagree sure to some extent the people around you determine how you treat those people but I have noticed more and more that if you treat everyone great no matter if they are being little "grumpy" towards you, in the end it will always be someone else's problem.   If someone I run into is less than curious to me and I turn around and be rude to them how is that making me any better than what they are doing?  what because they did it first you should retaliate.  that is almost as silly as saying "oh you cheated on me so I am going to cheat back."  However, if you look the rude person in the eye when they are being rude, give them a smile and tell them to have a great day, who knows maybe it will change their day.  Either way, it is not your problem it is their own problem and you are not at their level for being rude back.  I guess what I am trying to say is being a mature person sometimes means that you need to just accept everyone with a grin on your face and maybe just maybe you will make a difference in their lives enough to change someone else's life too.  


I am getting on rants lately because the more I get to remove myself from a situation the more I can look more objectively at the situations that should or should not be.  I cant promise that I will always make the best decisions when it comes to things that I was just ranting about a little but I will try.  OH a second example of the quote is people using people to get what they want... You just be a good friend and then if that person starts to take advantage of you do not get mad just realize you are being the better person by being the example of what a real friend is.  Maybe not help as much unless you know that it is really needed but every time the problem falls on the user not the used.
