You know, sometimes it astonishes me how vicious human beings can be. I am not talking about physically being violent, but rather, the emotional attack they launch toward people who they dislike. I have seen it so much, with people who simply did not like someone, to people who are in relationships, and people who have broken a relationship.

Granted, there are people I do not like. I might rant and ramble on about how much they annoy me, but unless they specifically provoke my anger by attacking me or someone who is close to me, I try to not be vicious…I attempt to keep my opinions to myself. What is the point of attacking the person? Especially if the reason you are attacking them is because they have personality traits that rub you the wrong way. Politely tell them to stay out of your way, or tell them you are not interested. Do not use every opening and conversation as a chance to emotionally scar the person. That is wrong, any way you slice it.

Another thing I do not understand is the level of maliciousness in relationships. I am very glad that I have a peaceful relationship with my husband. Of course we have arguments, but we don’t yell, don’t threaten, and do not try to hurt the other person. I have seen a lot of people who are always fighting, always saying hurtful things, always threatening to leave. I am very surprised that these relationships survive, honestly.

Lastly, I wonder at the hatefulness that comes with an ended relationship. Why not end it peacefully and not turn into a raging psycho? People claim that they are in love, but let the other person do something that slights the said party, and they suddenly hate the other person. That simply tells me that you do not know how to love. I don’t hate anyone I have dated. They are all good people, just not for me. Why get vicious? I do not understand. Why try to damage the person? Move on with your life, and get over yourself. If someone does not want you anymore, let it go. You will only make yourself look like an idiot if you try to get revenge or hurt that person. Not to mention trying to get them back endlessly.

I have wanted to get revenge on people before, but when I did, the momentary high I felt at the moment was nothing compare to the beating I gave myself afterwards for being so stupid. That’s how I view revenge…stupid. No more, no less.

Thus ends my rant for today. :)
