the bigger person

hey guys

how are you all?

now, i wanna talk about "the bigger person" today, we all know who the bigger person is, we're all expected to be the bigger person but now i have a problem with that

i'm not immature ... well i try not to be .. for the most part .. sometimes.. never. lol no i'm kidding

so you know how people always say they respect mature people and stuff like that? yeh well what are the benefits that mature people get, seriously? let me tell you what benefits we get, we get to be the bigger person. the person who has to disregard the petty crap that immature people put us through, the person who has to pretend they're ok with annoying things that constantly happen by the same people who never learn. and those people, they get away with being immature!

so basically, this leads me to think that being the bigger person simply enables the immature person to CONTINUE being immature! and isn't that a problem??

now i understand the importance of the bigger person, we need people who are calm and collected and mature enough to not give unworthy people any attention they clearly don't deserve but at the same time, how will the immaturity and pettiness ever stop??

so right now we're at a stale mate, we don't want to have to put up with immature people but at the same time we don't want to make them feel like their stupidity has attracted our attention

and this my friends is where nourah comes in with a suggestion if you may..

having problems with an immature brat?

no don't act like them (because you're worth something and you shouldn't belittle your value)

no don't confront them (shocker i know)


see the thing is .. most of the time when people are acting in such an immature way, either its naturally who they are (and it's your problem for knowing them and dealing with it for so long) OR and this is what happens in most cases, they know it bugs you and this is their target..

so here's what you do
and i dont know if this is a cliche or something you guys heard before

and it's very difficult to achieve but once you do you'll be the happiest person ever.

DON'T LET IT BOTHER YOU

idk if you guys know this but you can't change ANYTHING about people's behavior, coz people will do whatever the hell they want, regardless of how you may or may not feel about it, so the smart way out is to constantly remind yourself that people's actions, even if directed at YOU, are entirely their choice, their decision, which is in no way altered or affected by YOU.

the only actions and decisions you can control are your own, and so you must learn how to not let people's dumb, stupid actions that may be silly and petty and so on (the list goes on) bother you!

and once you master this, teach me how to do it lol.

until next time
