When We’re Rude

When do we stop saying, “This is who I am. Deal with it,” and start saying “This is who I am. But I can probably love people better.”?

When do we apologize for that “quirk” that creates unnecessary tension in a social situation? By the way, we get to call it a “quirk” and not “rude”.

Should we feel bad about hurting a person’s feelings because we just had to speak our mind? Heaven forbid we keep our mouths shut for 2 seconds.

Sometimes I fear we only live in Tweetable quips, snide remarks, and self-aggrandizements.

“Be who you are and speak your mind. Never apologize for it,” is the dominant message of our day.

Being individuals has become more important than loving on people. Our own agendas have taken over the world.
