Nice People @ MindSay

Those "good samaritan" wannabe's who act like the world is made of sugar & rainbows, and they never make fun of anyone. Welcome to reality. Everyone makes fun of people, and everyone does not deserve pity. You don't attract anyone by always saying, "Don't say that, it's not nice." On the contrary, you actually repel them.

The following is opinion, but still.

 

Those true good samaritan people are born, not made. You can't force yourself to be that, you just have it or you don't. It's the kind of people that win nobel peace prize, that everyone likes because they exude kindness naturally. They don't put on a facade to try to make people like them, they just can't help but be that way. And even they don't tell other people not to say things, they simply do not partake in the conversation. I know one girl like this. Everyone wants to be like her, but you can't, we can't. We can only admire her & those like her. Enjoy their company. She was born that way, she didn't train for it.

puss ball = gone.
becca = talking like a stupid idiot because her mouth is numb. really hungry and wants antibiotics and stuff. new found love for laughing gas.

anyways.


today we had an assembly about Rachel Scott. you might've heard of her. she was the first person dead in the columbine shooting in 1999 and there's this huge organization called "Rachel's Challenge" going around to high schools everywhere talking about it.
basically, she believed in the whole theory that if you're nice to one person, then they'll be nice to another, and another, and another and another. start a chain reaction. she believed that with just little acts of kindness everyday the world would be a better place.

and i know that a bunch of people thinks that's crap. but it actually reminded me of Judaism, no lie.
and Shiny if you're reading this, i think you know what i mean. but anyways.

i heard about it before and thought it would be the stupidest thing ever. a whole hour long assembly about being nice? wow. way to reach out to high schoolers, ya know?
wrong.

this was intense. seriously. first just hearing about the columbine shooting. like HOLY CRAP. 13 people dead, not even close to the V-Tech massacre but this was way more intense. the worst in history. that's crazy. that seriously gave me shivers down my spine.

and then we basically heard her ethics. which was really nice and stuff. like seriously. just be nice to someone, you can change their whole outlook. we're all aware of this, but rarely do we look at it with the optimism that she did. we all know that one act of hate can lead to mass wars and huge riots. but do we ever think about how one act of kindness can do the same? and why doesn't it? because hardly anybody believes in that. and people take kindness for granted. like, you're supposed to be nice to people. hold open doors. say please and thank you. whatever. i think we just take it for granted.

so, this didn't really change my outlook on anything. because i pretty much knew this. be nice to someone, they'll probably be nice back. it's best to be nice to everyone you can. that's what i try to do. it usually ends up going against me but whatever. it works i guess.

so. yeah. here's to you Rachel Joy Scott. you didn't live long, but you had a good life.

(rest in piece, Luke)
this kid at my school died last friday in a car accident. he was really nice. he was nice to me in eighth grade when people made fun of me. he also volunteered for Habitat For Humanity and he helped build my house. we have a picture of him along with some other volunteers in our garage. it's so sad. i'm going to miss him. he was so cool to everyone, even though he was preppy and popular. that kid did NOT deserve to die at all. we had a memorial in the auditorium. his mom was there.

i'd rather someone be honest and real than be nice to me.  and being real doesn't have to mean being outright offensive either.  but nice lies are not helpful. 

I was talking to a coworker at work and i said...."I really don't want to go if it means having to sit there alone with her".   I was referring to my boss.  
Well, to my chagrin, my boss was sitting in the next room listening to this conversation.  She didn't say anything about it and I didn't acknowledge that I knew she heard.
okay, it wasn't as bad as it could have been.  If she knows I don't prefer her company, so be it.  It shouldn't be a surprise to her at all if she thinks about how she treats me.  But I was curious how she might have taken it.

Just to bounce thiss off someone else,  I told a friend what happened....and all she could say is .... "oh, there's nothing wrong with what you said.  don't worry, I wouldn't be offended by that.  you're fine.  you didn't say anything bad. "

HUH?  if I heard someone say about me....."I don't want to go if Chri's going to be there"   i'd prolly be a tad offended, wouldn't you? 
silly woman, she wasn't making me feel better, she was making me think she's absurd if she thinks I'm so simpleminded that i'd be placated by this false assurance.   talking to her is pointless sometimes.

anyways....lol... snicker snicker.  i need to keep my mouth shut at work..
