Just Thinking

Bear with me...some jumbled thoughts seem to be coming your way.

So I'm sitting in Starbucks and I hear someone affirm someone's question about the product by putting down Tim Horton's, and the first thing I thought was why do we always seem to get affirmation from putting someone/something else down?  At what point did it just become completely acceptable to assure someone by knocking something else?  Maybe I'm thinking about this way too much, or maybe it just struck a nerve at the right time, but it seems to me like there is some sort of pattern happening...where it is completely acceptable to put others down - their thoughts, feelings, actions, and so forth, as a means for providing someone else with reassurance.

How is that okay?

I'm not saying I've never been guilty of it - I'm sure we all have at some point.

But since when did we just settle for certain things being acceptable?

People even have quite lengthy conversations about how they don't like certain things, but then they just accept that they are the way they are, and move on.  When is it okay to do that, and when is it time to say enough is enough?

I could go on for a while, but I think maybe this is enough for now...plus I have to get back to paper outline writing...

I just couldn't stop thinking about it, and I wonder if I am the only one...

Well, I'm out for now (but I'll probably come back to it later...).

God Bless :)
