What do you want people to admire most about you?
What do I want people to admire most about me? That is a really good question. I don't know for sure if I know. I can't say it is my patience because I don't have any. I can't say that it is my generosity because I don't know if I am that generous of a person. I always wanted to be a patient person. Not to let anything or anyone bother me. But, I guess that I was not meant to be that way. I guess that is why I am doing so much reading to find out how Christ can help me be a better person that people will someday come to admire. I have been raised as an only child all my life. And, I am still an only child who has a hard time accepting things that are not my way. I like things to go my way all the time and I will fight whomever tries to destroy this ignorate attitude that I have. That's right it is an ignorate attitude; but I can't seem to do anything about it. I want a family that gets along. That doesn't show bitterness towards each other. As I young child I was taught to respect people. Todays children are taught to think only for themselves and not care about how they may hurt the older adults in their family. We go out of our way to raise our children and pray that they will grow up and be a good example for their children and what do we get? Someone who could care less about how they may hurt people or show their disrespect. What is the definition of disrespect? It means lact of respect, or rudeness. What is rudeness? Rudeness is ill-mannered, or discourteous. What is discourteous? Lacking courtesy; not polite. What is polite? Marked by consideration, tact and courtesy. Refined and elegant. What is respect? Respect is expressions of consideration or deference. Deference means courteous. And consideration means thoughtful concern for others. So what is wrong with being repectful when all it means is to have thoughtful concern for others. This is everyone that we come in contact with. This is from the youngest child that we should have thoughtful conern for to the oldest adult who also should be treated with thoughtful conern. But, our youngest generation of children are being taught by example that thoughtful concern of others is not something that they have to do. That they don't need to be thoughtful of others feelings. But, if they are not treated with thoughtful concern their parents are the first to jump all over us. Our generations need to unite and see how each can benefit the other. Maybe some day, all will learn to compromise.
