5 dicks! I mean stars 😅 Seriously, great post and perhaps just boils down to the Golden Rule - would you like to be treated the way you’re treating that person, animal, plant, the environment etc. right now? I’m always amazed by the justification to be a Dick coming from the place of ‘well he/she/they did it to me!’
Yes, exactly. Not enough people think about this enough. I think it comes from our desire to be vindicated, to show we're not 'weak' or something. But it just makes the world an unnecessarily cruel place sometimes
I also think it has a lot to do with being present and aware. Someone once said that 'in the space between stimulus and response lies our humanity'. When we react without the space, the cruelty can emerge.
This is excellent!!
Thank you! I mean it, I say it what feels like hundreds of times a day
