Discussion»Statements»Rosie's Corner» Are you an instigator? Of what? Cordiality or hostility? What floats your boat, rings your chimes, makes you feel alive, your cuppa tea?
Cordiality and hostility are just feelings. I'm much more focused on real things that exist in the real world. I'm interested in peace, liberty, prosperity etc. That's what I try to instigate. Sometimes that's achieved by being pretty hostile to those who would undermine it.
I try to be friendly at first - but I'm always a smartass underneath, so if my cordial overtures are rebuffed, you can be certain that a sarcastic response won't be far away.
I give everyone the benefit of the doubt ONCE. If they screw around with me after that I ignore them because I know they cannot be trusted. I don't engage, I don't rage. I don't dwell or even think aout them. No interest. No patience. No time to waste. A couple of times I have gone against that credo and regretted it. I thought perhaps the person had decided to be civil. I was wrong. I don't make that mistake again for anyone. It's once and again and again and again futurely or nevermore. Out the door. Begone with you! I know. I talk big but can I deliver? Thank you for your reply Sbf! :)
