venting...

I don't believe that it is necessary to be liked by all in this life. I actually feel it's rather impossible for that to even happen. I know I certainly don't like everyone. But am called to Love them based on my religious view. I've got to admit it would probably be tough for you to or anyone else to know I don't like you unless I openly tell you or tell others of my feelings and it gets back to you. And then there are those that I initially didn't care for and have come to like. You really just never know. How one person views you can vary greatly from how another does. Tonight was a frustrating night...to say the very least. I get so irritated with myself when I allow OTHERS to annoy me! I hate giving others that much power over me. Ironically, I still continue to be kind to these people. I've tried treating them as they do me....it just goes against what I believe. For one I'd say deep down there's goodness there; for the other I see nothing but deceit. The character traits exhibited are just not appealing to me at all. It's obvious to all they feel the same toward me...& I'm fine with that. What is also noticeable is their immaturity in dealing with someone they don't care for. You want to be treated like an adult - learn to behave like one~!
