✅❌when you want to be right but could be so wrong
I like to think my opinion, or the way I do things are the right way. Always.
Disappointingly I’m not always right, not by a long shot.
There are only a few things I can confidently say that I know are undoubtedly right…
-death comes to us all
-my love for my kids will never fade
-tights are a way of life
-Kmart is therapeutic
-a party is only a party if the snacks table is easily accessible, it’s not a party with out snacks
Everything else is up for debate and open to interpretation.
This lesson took me my entire life to date to learn.
We are all entitled to our opinion, and we can express it if we want, however others don’t have to agree with it.
Lack of respect or understanding of the fact that others may do things or live their lives differently to ourselves can tear friendships and families apart. It can make our jobs a harder to do and put barriers up between us and others.
I’ve most certainly lost contact and with important people in my life due to different opinions.
You don’t have the right to tell someone how to live their life, however if you don’t agree with something and you feel it’s crucial they are made aware of it -that’s your judgement call to communicate that to them BUT keep in mind they don’t have to see if from the same point of view, nor may they view it as a concern.
This is the tricky part, it’s usually a case of ether accepting your differences and choosing to ignore the issue and continue on as per normal, not accepting it and both parties acknowledging there is an issue but agreeing to disagree, or in some more serious circumstances completely cutting that person out of your day to day life and moving on. Of course these aren’t our only options, but from observations these are the most common I’ve noticed.
It all depends on what you are capable of accepting as right, wrong, or compromise.
I may think keeping the pickle in your cheeseburger is absolute f**ken insanity-cos it is.
You might think I’m wrong -I’m not 😂😂
I may think the only way to wipe your butt is by doing the lift n side swipe, not by dodging poop valley and going through the middle
You might think I’m wrong-I’m not, however this open for debate. 💩
It’s all in what you, yourself perceive what the right way to live is. The choices you make are completely up to you. It’s your judgement call to deem what you find is an acceptable way to behave, work, raise your kids, treat your partner, eat your food and what food you eat, no one else’s, just you.
Just remember, it’s “your” way and everyone else will have “their“ way -with a few exceptions to the rule we have to allow others to live the way they want, be it right or wrong.
Now take your f**ken pickles out 🍔 🙅🏽♀️
