I have recently come into a large sum of unexpected rudeness. I honestly did not know what to do with it, since not all of it was directed at me. This recent case prevented me from returning a rude tone. In most situations, I have no problem returning rude tones that are greater than or equal to the tone received. Returning rudeness would have been hurtful to others around the situation, so my hands were tied. Today however, I am thinking back on the rudeness. My thoughts on the events are still angry, sarcastic, and hurt. So today I will blog.
Dear Rude People,
I am writing you to say, thank you. You have set before me an example of who not to be. I know for a fact, I will never be able to treat anyone the way you have treated me. Now that I have seen this kind of coldness first hand, I will work hard to be a more compassionate person.
Please know that your message was heard loud and clear. My wish for you is that you will see what you do and change all that. I know that you are quick to judge and you have no awareness of this fact. It seems to me anyone who brags about open-mindedness, would take the time to get to know someone before predetermining how to treat them!
Good luck to you, and to whoever comes into your life next. I hope you like them more than you liked me!
Signed,
Tara Reich
