How people treat you is their karma; How you react is yours.
I am not a mean spirited person. I don’t ever seek to hurt people, or cause drama, or toss monkey wrenches into situations. That’s not to say that I’ve never been mean, hurt people, caused drama or tossed said wrenches…
The best way for me to describe my personality to people, would be to say I am highly extroverted while being equally happy with being alone. I love spending time with people and talking and laughing, but I have realized there are some people I dont need to spend time with because being around them ends up putting me in a sour mood when it comes to dealing with other people.
For instance having to say i’m “dealing” with people just makes me cringe. Because inevitably I will arrive at a point where I’m no longer interacting with someone, I’m putting up with them and that’s never fun for me. I even have what me and my sister call “the voice” for people who get put into that category. Its something she pointed out to me a while back, and its a voice I give to the people who annoy me the most, when recounting things they’ve said to other people.
As a talker, I like to have the last word, so I have a tendency to argue the technicalities, for most situations. I am also huge on equal ownership of problems. If your trying to tell me what I did wrong and you played a part in it in some way then you need to own it. I don’t know what I’m going to need to find when I start looking for a husband… I think it’ll be an interested search for someone who I never want to give “the voice”! :]]
So while I’m not a believer in the true sense of karma, I do believe in the golden rule. It is simply harder to put into action when dealing with people who don’t exercise the same.
Doing onto others as I would have them do onto me, one person at a time!
