Attitude Adjustment

You may think with a title like that I'm talking about myself! Of course, you know I'm not! Being practically perfect in every way (Mary Poppins) I am above such things (like a Goodyear blimp).

What I'm talking about is the general attitude that "it's all about me." People who do not take into consideration others thoughts and feelings. Those who take every comment, question, and action in life as a strike against themselves. The general opinion of "Why are they doing that to me?" "Why don't they do what I want them to do?"

Shouldn't we strive to be more kind? More loving? More understanding of the other person and what they need/want? Wouldn't that be displaying a more Christ-like attutide? Instead of playing the victim--shouldn't we try harder to be the hero? Be happy with what we are given? Never push for more, but instead be content with what we have? Waiting to be asked instead of pushing to talk? Giving instead of always trying to receive.

End rant.
