then you don't deserve me at my best"
Utter guff of course, and the kind of vapid, conceited and ill thought out meme that periodically does the rounds on Facebook, and other such places. Perhaps a healthier perspective would be "If you can't handle me at my worst, perhaps I should be less of a sh*t, and learn to respect you a bit more, rather than blindly expecting unconditional love and respect from you no matter how badly I behave" Anyway, I found this blog on the subject and how people get to have these incredible perspectives on themeslves, very interesting. I'd be interested in the thoughts of others.. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/matt-walsh/if-i-cant-accept-you-at-y_b_4673582.html" rel="nofollow - Womens Huffy Post bloggy.... ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |

My favourite is: "If you care about this issue, then please like and share this link. Of course most people won't do this" This is designed to make you think "Ooh, I better share this or people might think I don't care, whereas in fact I do care, I just don't want to be party to this schoolyard emotional manipulation technique to get me to pledge my support for a cause" ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |

It appears to be the email version of the old 'chain letter' that got passed around primary school playgrounds.. "if you don't pass this on to one of the next 5 people on the list, then you will have broken a chain 5,732 strong, this letter will never reach China and I won't ever speak to you again...  ------------- Music has always been a matter of energy to me.

Most quotes are just stupid of course, but with that caveat out of the way, what is your objection to it exactly?

My usual reaction to this is somewhat Yoda-ish "Hmmm, a life this person needs to get" As an aside, I do love the reactionary bull  'political statement' pictures posted on Arsebook (sadly shared by some people I know, but hey-ho) to prove how right-on the poster is, but in truth only showing how naivety has no respect for age or life experience.-------------

There's so much on FB that can annoy or irritate. Sadly, people are irritating, and there is nothing any of us can do about that. No one, and I mean NO ONE really understands the world around them, as much as they give themselves credit for, but everyone has the right to an opinion and a perspective on it, however flawed. People tend to fall into a small number of categories on social media. You get the types who endlessly post pictures of animals in 'funny' situations, those who rant and rave about politics (guilty, yes I know) those who tell the world every time they take a sh*t or make a bacon sandwich, or drink a pint of beer. My objection is not so much for the quote in the OP. It is just a string of vapid words after all, and we should be used to seeing those on social media, often on forums too. I agree with the premise of the article though that people should learn to respect those around them rather than blindly expecting everyone to happily accept all the sh*t apsects of their personality, in order to experience their better side. I know from personal experience that that courtesy has never been extended to me. When my behaviour towards people I care about has fallen short of what's right and impacts badly on them I get confronted about it, and rightly so! ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |
