With Dignity............by David
I guess my biggest resentment in all of my life has been how the world is full of people who basically care only for themselves. They are incapable of, or won't treat others with respect.
First of all, there were clicks when we were in school. You may have been in one or you may not have had quite the social skills, looked the part or your parents were not financially solvent enough to belong to a click.
Next are people who treat you one way when it is just you and them and they treat you another way when the two of you are around someone else. I really could go on and on about examples but I won't. It is a very special person that knows (deeply feels) that it is truly a joy to give more than it is to receive and it is a shame that these people usually get taken advantage of, used and sometimes abused.
My doctor has helped me over the years to expect something in return, that's a very difficult thing to learn. It is a very, very rare person who can see the beauty of a child or man or lady who has a very big heart. You become bubbling with joy if you act like you need them, or you need them to do something for you, or if you just want to be around them. It is sad that so many people just don't understand the concept of giving of themselves instead of all the time taking, being a friend to someone at all times and not letting that change because they are in the company of the "select" few.
It's a long old journey this thing called life and we don't need to be settling for just any kind of treatment from people. If nothing else, stay away from people like I do. I was not put on this planet to baby sit grown adults who do not know how to behave! It is all I can do just to take care of myself. My emotional energies are spent on my daughters and my sister.
If you can't distance yourself emotionally from people who are no good for you then you are better off alone. You do not need the abuse, you are a much better person than that! There should be a special, few people in your life who treat you with dignity, and I do mean it would be a few because now-a-days, they are few and far between, but you do have a choice. Make your choice and stick with it.
