Mean people can be really mean at times and it's awful when it happens to those who's not even directly part of it.
They say the tongue can be as sharp as knife. I think people are mean because they are morally imperfect that are shoved into a paradigm that demands moral perfection. I guess people are generally mean when they don't get something they want, or conversely something they don't want.
Mean people are out there, but one thing I'm learning is that it ''really" is about their stuff. We've all been hurt, and we've all been wounded, but not all of us are mean. Sarcastic maybe. (There. I've just described every single person living on Planet Earth!)
Do I use sarcasm? Well yes, I admit but only jokingly occasionally with people who understands and gets it. It’s always a bit tricky, some people can’t tell if you are being sarcastic or not. So most times, I'd use sarcasm only onto those I'm close with or those I know can take it. Because often times, when you give sarcasm, you get them back and that's the fun side to it when you're amongst those close ones.
Back on the topic of 'Meanness' -- I would want that my history of suffering be a hero's saga rather than a victim's whine. I've never come across such horrific meanness in my life before, not till recently and it hit me really bad because I've never experienced it before...it got the best of me. It nearly made me lose something so precious I had worked for and had put every effort into.
The moment that I begin to tolerate meanness, is when I know I've come to accept that I've both the capability and the obligation to do better and to handle it to the best I can....Yes, it's about time I know but it's not too late to do something about it. I'm not perfect but I know this is all but a learning journey. If it ever comes back, I would gladly smile and turn my back towards it, ignore it or simply hang up. Why? Because I've learnt.
And for that, I'd say ~
Love is peace in the middle of a war. Love is not a fight, but it's something worth fighting for.
