Wouldn\u2019t it be wonderful if they wouldn\u2019t flaunt their political views, or complain so much? Don\u2019t you wish people would take better care of themselves, and stop denigrating their bodies with tattoos and piercings? If only people would respect their bodies as temples, not overeating, or stuffing their faces with sugar and processed foods. I also hate how people dress, or how they just need to be right, or how they need to be the center of attention all the time &#8211; isn\u2019t that awful?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wishing people were different won\u2019t help them, will it? Jesus talked about that very thing, noticing splinters in the eyes of others, but failing to notice the log in your own eye. It\u2019s hard to accept this, but the only person on the planet that needs change is you. The only person that <em>can <\/em>change is you, that\u2019s because that\u2019s who <em>you<\/em> control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Truth is what you see in yourself, so people have to come to the truth in their own way. You can set the tone for yourself, but you can\u2019t adjust the tone in others. You can set the example, but you can\u2019t help by pointing out what\u2019s wrong with people. You can be the difference, but aside from that, it\u2019s out of your hands. So enjoy your life. Enjoy being nice, even when others are hateful. Enjoy being at ease, when others are at war with themselves. Enjoy being you. Maybe someone will ask you what your secret is. Too many people hate being inside their own bodies, so they do destructive things. The golden rule is never conditional. You treat others as you want to be treated, period. You don\u2019t treat others kindly <em>only<\/em> when they are nice first. The golden rule is difficult but steadfast. Make this your priority, and you&#8217;ll be golden.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tuesday, March 7, 2023 Don\u2019t you wish people would be courteous, polite, cooperative, and supportive?
