People Can Be… Difficult (9)

Posted under: Life, Site

I wish that I could run into people like Rhiannon who has a different opinion than I do, but can handle it in a much more mature manner than other people.

For those who have been keeping up with the blog, then you remember the wonderful fight that happened on this blog due to a difference of opinions. I admit that I did not state mine clearly on the issue and had relied on the fact that some might pick up what my opinion was, but I know now that I can’t assume people will get it. I need explicitly state it or else it gets lost between all the mush and sarcasm.

But back to my point… so Rhiannon didn’t like the issue either and had blogged about it (she took it down due to my good behavior). I must admit that I got a bit defensive because that’s just how I am, but all of her points made sense and I understood where she was coming from. It wasn’t a bash directed towards me nor was she name-calling and making absurd assumptions about me. She carried herself in a good manner, something that I truly appreciated.

So… why can’t everybody be like that?! I’ve run into people with such strong opinions and with such rude demeanor that I really try my best to avoid them. I know that I shouldn’t have to avoid them, but what else am I going to do? Confront them? It’s like that quote, “You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make him drink.” It’s the same with close-minded stubborn people. (I can be the horse sometimes too but that’s another story)

I just wish that I could just not have to associate or interact with people who really can’t handle things on a higher level. It doesn’t matter what the age is; there should be some sort of middle ground that everyone should know, right?

Anyway, that’s just a silly wish of mine.
