A brief-yet-ongoing journal of all things Carmi. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll reach for your mouse to click back to Google. But you'll be intrigued. And you'll feel compelled to return following your next bowl of oatmeal. With brown sugar. And milk.
"I simply do not think that yelling, swearing, threatening or belittling will get you to the place you want to be faster than kindness, understanding, patience and a little willingness to compromise."And yet it all too often seems that we're surrounded by Type-A types who think nothing of yelling, swearing, threatening and belittling, often to the degree that to do so is absolutely normal to them.

Um ... I think maybe it's because our society values product and money more than human relationships.
ReplyDeleteWhich is awfully sad.
I think Patti is right.. Those that yell, assert beyond appropriateness know that its worked for them in the past... think about it, if u have someone being brassy, that would definitely make me move out of their way. I've known people like that, and its a learned behavior.. yep, it goes back to what they have witnessed from those they look up to..
