What some people are capable of and how to handle a "Karen." The thought process of some, a lot, of the general public is troubling. I've almost had my fill of "Karen" videos, I think now I can spot trouble right away, attitudes, trigger words etc. Been watching a lot of Jordan Peterson videos lately, he has a lot of good, reasonable and intelligent things to say. Additionally, Ben Shapiro is always a delight.
There have been significant changes in my thinking lately -- thanks to a certain special somebody. Hard to put the lessons into words, but I think a good deal of it is about not precluding certain emotions, or even the capacity to understand others better, just on account of some norms of masculinity.
That might not sound of much relevance to women, yet I do think gender norms are, in a manner of speaking, something we inflict on one another. We could be kinder to ourselves and to others; and those two go well together. That's another of those lessons.
Oh, and trying to keep the battery charge on devices between 20 and 80%, for longevity!
Thank you! There's another thing I think everyone can benefit from: having friends outside of one's age group. I just happen to like one of mine a bit better than that, hehe.
For some time, I've been learning not to have so much judgement of others. I used to have very black and white thinking about more things, and particular ideas about what is acceptable/unacceptable. Inserting my own opinions about things that are none of my business, basically.
Recently I've been gifted what I refer to as a "Karmic Lesson" pertaining to something I've held judgements about. I'm incredibly thankful, as it's been a very kind and rewarding lesson so far. I look forward to learning and enjoying it much more in the future.
Haha! Probably a bit of both? Isn't it strange and unfair how age is blamed on so many character and personality flaws? I suppose maybe it goes one way or the other as we age, but I'm guessing that generally people stay pretty true to their overall nature. I hope more of us learn and bloom rather than anger and harden.
I remember at a very young age being struck deeply with "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." Even at six or seven years old, it made deep sense to me. I know i've lived my life that way. it's not that difficult for me. And from how I see, and have seen, others overall treat me (and that many so often tell me that they love me), I find The Golden Rule has benefitted others and me.
