Sometimes it feels good to say unkind things. Later on when you think about it or re-read those words it doesn't always feel as good.

I say this because I'm frankly a rough character and have trained myself to be very careful to avoid ever seeming like a bully - either in words or actions.

I've felt a lot calmer and better about myself since I started really pushing that.

I don't consider myself a bully... That is, I dont launch a verbal attack un provoked... Admittedly, I do post some gnarley statements from time to time , which seem to evoke (or provoke) certain attacks on me personally... (Rather than on what I had posted) ..

I do agree that it proves to be a tasteless exchange when reflecting on it later. You might recall in past events, I have openly apologized for my toxicness toward other certain individuals... In hindsight, I had realized that they simply didn't deserve the contempt, which I had expressed. I made peace with them. But I'm not reaching out to these guys here... f**k em They are assholes and they give me no reason whatsoever to believe otherwise about them.

Just let it roll off like you are the original Teflon man.

AT first I though you were a bully..But then I pulled my own head outta my ass and realized you aren't..Outspoken is indeed correct... (I've come to appreciate it...no punches pulled)

Its not the things that other people say, that sticks on me...Its the fact that they exist and live to say the things they say... Aint talking about cutting, dry, sardoninc humor (Which I can handle just fine...and rather applaud) ..I'm talking about folks who lob negative energy on everything...with no redeeming value in it whatsoever. The prose just reflects what simple asses they are... and in most cases its not creative or inspiring in anyway... So. when they start in on me I feed them their own crap back.

But I agree about the teflon theory...

You know, you gotta realize the world doesn't care at all.

Everyone has their own agendas with very little overlap.

I let them think what they will but I do what I do and say what I say, day after day, because to change with the wind means you aren't really sure who you are.

It's part of the thick skin theory..thick, Teflon skin..

People are stupid as hell anyway.. never give them too much credit.
You'd just be setting them up to take a fall.

Very few Samaritans on the path to wherever it is we're all going to..
