How often have you been asked what you consider to be stupid and often sarcastic questions? When this happens we sometime want to respond with a stupid or sarcastic answer. But is that right or fair? Why should people be making stupid statements in the first place? People far too often do and say things that they regret later. Some of those things do seem to be stupid and even sarcastic, but that may not be the person’s intent. Something we should understand and give the person the benefit of the doubt, if we can.
Haven’t you wished that you could say whatever you want to whomever you want and not worry about the consequences? But, you know that this just can’t happen. Not now, not ever. I think that we all understand this.
We are all intelligent people with our own set of values and thought processes that are different than other peoples. This makes us unique and possible for us to properly express ourselves, ask questions and get answers that make sense.
We must be aware that the way we express ourself can often produce a fight, if we’re not careful, that can become extremely intense and get way out of control real quick. This again, should never happen. It must not happen. How we take the words of others often depends on whether or not we consider the person as a friend or foe. Making a statement as a friend, even if it sounds sarcastic, makes a big difference between what we will tolerate and what we will not. The better we know someone the better we are able to know what it is they are really saying to us and why.
Just knowing that we can only tolerate sarcasm and stupidity for just so long and that we will, far too often, respond in kind is something to think about. Do we want to get involved in that kind of behavior? But, also be aware that it’s not always necessary to get back at someone just because they don’t always expressing themselves intelligence.
