If we got along
with everybody, our lives would be much easier, and the world would be a different
place. Unfortunately, it is a fact of
life that you neither are liked by everybody nor like everyone yourself. Most people have at least one person in their
lives that they can only tolerate, whether it be a family member, acquaintance,
or co-worker. Most of the time, this
disliking stems from disagreeing with a particular aspect of the person;
personality, actions, speech, etc.
Whatever the case, you may have experienced a moment where lashing out at
the person seemed like a good idea. It
would certainly release some bottled emotions but is it worth it in the long term?

🎶 Song of the Blog 🎶
In my opinion,
getting angry with someone you dislike does nothing to solve the problem. In fact, the situation gets worse because the
person then realizes how you feel. This
can create tension and an awkward environment, especially in work
settings. More so, some people often
feel a sense of guilt after yelling at somebody despite their distaste towards them. Being intentionally hurtful to another human
being, despite one’s own opinion, can leave a feeling of sadness and self-disappointment. Deep down we understand everybody deserves to
be treated the same as how we want to be treated, even if people do not always
return the favor.
Also, keep in
mind that nobody knows what another is going through. We are all fighting battles nobody knows
about. Someone may seem rude on the
outside, but ask yourself why that is. What
exactly is causing this type of behavior?
The person could be struggling in their personal lives or may have gone
through hard times in the past. Your
perception of that person may not be accurate if this is the case. Lashing out would mean hurting someone who is
already in pain, and you are then left to deal with the guilt. So, it is best to avoid this situation altogether
by being kind and courteous. Save
yourself the feeling of guilt by never judging a book by its cover. Remember, we all have scars, and getting
angry over the byproduct of another’s does nothing to change that.
Overall, if not
for them, do it for yourself. Why be a mean person when you have the opportunity to be caring? We feel good about ourselves when we are kind
to others. Getting angry often leads to
self-harm in the long run. You ruin your
own reputation, create awkward situations, and show a lack of
self-control. Not only that but in most
cases, you look like the bad guy, especially when you get angry at someone going through something. So, be kind
and make yourself and others feel good. Despite
what they may say or do, in most cases is not viable or necessary to swing
back. Let it go, walk away, take a deep
breath, and remember who you are. You
are a kind and understanding individual, even to those who drive you mad.
