Don't Be A Jerk

in #life • 7 years ago (edited)

Not that I am in the market but it amazes me at how many people contact me wanting to be FWB but really don't want anything to do with the F part. And no. I am not interested in being anyone's dirty little secret. It really gets old.

It is not like I am a prude. Sure I am a sexual being but I am also mature, well educated and cultured. Apparently these are features that are not attractive to the general public.

Maybe in a day and age with our confused sense of ethics it makes it understandable that people act this way. It does not however make it acceptable.

Those who proclaim to be a moral majority seem to digest with ease electing philanderers and child molesters to office because they simply have the correct party affiliation without any actual adherence to what what those people actually stand for.

So maybe I should not be surprised. It almost seems like we have entered some cosmic place of confusion that enables dehumanizing behavior and and enforcement of poverty on the majority while special compensation is granted to those who are ensconced in power.

We have an inverted sense of justice. Maybe karma will catch up but until then, watch out, life is spent without consideration and no real charity seems to exist.

As we roll into a season which supposes love and compassion I encourage all of you to take this up not as a seasonal and religious practice.

Instead I suggest that we all give cause to the practice of love and compassion perpetually and with out some arbitrary application. Life is hard. If you unwrap all of the world's religions and wisdom traditions one sentiment seems to shine through consistently as a fundamental and concise guiding principal. Don't be a jerk.
If you remember this you can stay in coherence with almost any religion or civil participation in society. It is not that hard to understand folks. Just don't be a jerk.

Spoken as a recovering jerk, if you want to be happy, Practice compassion. If you want others to be happy practice compassion.
