Does being gentle with people will make you in any way a better person this new year?
The thing is, people act the way they are because they are, most of the time, upset regardless of the circumstance of their back story, and what’s currently happening in their lives. People tend to form this emotional and judging world through perceptions which are 99.9% not true because, well, we never really know.
I remember one time, being judged by this lady of the kind of person I will be in a span of heaven knows how many years. I’m not going to dig into details but It was hurtful because people say hurtful words. But I do remember also of myself not reacting at all.
With that being said, not reacting is NOT being gentle with people. In fact, I don’t try to be. These experiences resulted of me oftentimes appearing distant and unresponsive. I didn’t take it personally though. It’s just who I am today but if I get to interact I try to be as respectful as possible. Not giving negativity attention is probably the most respectful way of conducting oneself towards any of the same situation.
This year, I say, to make you a better person is to be gentle with yourself so you can laser-focus on the goal more than people. But be patient with them. We all going to try to survive 2024 regardless of the kind of person we strive to be.
