When I am with some people I invariably end up thinking, how to spend the rest of the life with them? I do not want to get affected by their tantrums or negativity of their attitude towards others.
As humans we soak up a lot, so I am very afraid that I will pick up unwanted habits from them.
They are too difficult to deal with. We all have faced such people - very noisy, overbearing, overly complaining, overly pessimistic people. It's a pain to be around them. With age, the problem worsens.
That got me thinking...should we make an effort to be pleasant?
Why should anyone be pleasant at all?
Simple. It makes life easy for those around us.
It makes it easy to transact.
We all share this planet. We share office spaces. We share educational spaces.
We share public spaces. We live under one roof. We share the road.
With so much sharing, being pleasant, fair and considerate makes it easy for all of us to share the spaces. It makes it tolerable for others to be with us.
So we can concentrate on what's important, than to deal with someone's tantrums and behavioural issues. Some people cannot be changed and it's not worth making the effort. The only thing that we are capable of - is changing ourself and we can only guarantee change for ourself.
Others lives are theirs. They need to realize and make the effort to change and we can aid that but we cannot force others to change. It's their life....
