current events and slander...

currently
* listening to: eyesore - janus (new favorite song)
* reading: the rivers of zaada
* playing: with mortals' emotions
* eating: trident layers

i'm also currently steaming over some recent slander. i don't understand why people can't stop and think before they open their idiotic mouths. my best friends' dad recently told his son (also my friend) that he needed to - quote - "be careful" around me because i "[have a habit of falling in love with guys who don't like me.]" how the fuck would he know? he doesn't know me at all - CLEARLY. *mutters* asshole. it's been a long time since i've been this mad about something, but it's a culmination of stupid things said by stupid people, so i'm proposing a simple thing:

before you say something, ask yourself:

1. could this hurt the person it's about?
2. could it lower someone's opinion of them?
3. does it need to be said?

or, the simplified, easier version for dummies:

1. is it true?
2. is it kind?
3. is it necessary?

ask yourself that and we'll be saving a lot of people a lot of pain and frustration. that's all for now. given that i'm so mad i can't see straight, typing is rather difficult.
