(MA) Intended for Mature Audiences Only!

As the title indicates, this blog post is intended for mature people only. Immature people will not only disagree with the subject matter, most of them may not even comprehend it.

Name Calling
More often than not, name calling is intended to denigrate someone and hurt their feelings. Even some well-intended pet names sometimes are merely tolerated rather than appreciated. The next time you get the urge to call someone a name other than the one their parents gave them, don't!

Body or Face Shaming
"Beauty lies in the eye of the beholder." This is not only a wise adage, it is factual. What one culture or civilization deems ugly or repulsive, another may very well consider it to be attractive and admirable. The only opinion that truly matters is that of the person whose reflection is staring back at you when you gaze into a mirror. Be who you are, not what you think others may want you to be.

Grieving
When some one we truly care about dies, it hurts. We miss them and will never forget them. That said; we must not spend the remainder of our life constantly grieving for what is lost, we should make a concerted effort to think about and share time with those who are still with us. Grief is a healthy psychological outlet; however, we must not permit it to take over our lives and lead to acute depression. Life is for the living , death comes soon enough.

Embracing the Good and Tolerating the Bad
Until we feel pain, we cannot appreciate pleasure. Until we experience illness, we cannot appreciate good health. Until we have been hated, we cannot appreciate being loved. Until we have been hungry, we cannot appreciate being well-fed. Until we experience death, we cannot appreciate life.
