GROW UP

Why is it that some adults act more like high schoolers than high schoolers????
First off, people are allowed to have opinions AND to voice them!! Just because you don't like it, or maybe even take offense to what someone says doesn't mean cut them out of your life or hold a grudge. Maybe the reason SOME people get so worked up is because the truth hurts!!!!!!!!
The Golden Rule is do unto others as you'd have done to you. THINK ABOUT IT.
Would you like someone walking into your life and changing things? Probably not. If someone tries to apologize and you a)hang up on them or b)don't talk to them is that how YOU want people to treat you if someone is upset at you? No...that would probably just send you off even more.
This time of year (the Holidays,Thanksgiving - New Year's)especially should be a time about forgiveness and letting go. Haven't we all figured out that life is too short for holding grudges?!
It's happened time and time again in my life since about 2 weeks before Thanksgiving and it's not even the same people. It seems like now we have to walk on eggshells around EVERYONE.
That shouldn't be the case. You're in my life for a reason - either my choice or yours... but we share common threads (ie - family members that I THOUGHT we loved and cared about). It isn't fair to put people in the middle of your battle, especially a parent/child relationship. Who would do that? Fight your own battles or GROW THE F UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Forgiveness is the Christian thing to do, so if you claim to be a Christian, forgive and move on. May the Holiday spirit be with you all...
(I'd normally say Christmas, but like I said, it's happened since Thanksgiving) Doesn't anyone want to just enjoy the family time and watch people gather and show love AND respect to each other?!?!
