I don’t do hate!

What’s something most people don’t know about you?

If you hate a person , then you are defeated by them- Confucius.

I don’t do hate. I might not understand or be confused by others but I don’t hate them.

Let’s change the question- What do people hate about me?

I’ve never really had somebody tell me to my face that they hate me.

Does that mean I’m blessed? Does that mean I never done anything to offend or upset someone?

I’m sure there are people who do hate me for whatever reason. I certainly don’t go out of my way to make people dislike me. I’ve tried to go through life not offend others but I might have unknowingly upset some.

Don’t shout explain.

I suppose people could dislike me for my honesty. For me, it’s important to be honest to other people, if you expect honesty from them.

It’s called respect.

I like straight-talking people who politely speak their views and opinions clearly. Who are never rude, nasty or belittling of others? I don’t like injustice, rule-breakers, liars or manipulators, so these types of people might dislike me.

To me, rules are put into place to make life easier for others and for ourselves. Rules are like boundaries we put in place to protect children and ourselves, if they weren’t there, there would be chaos within society.

Some people might not like the rules, want to break them to serve their only needs. This puts others at a disadvantage which is unfair.

I’m a perfectionist and opinionated, which I suppose others might dislike about me. Having an option is a good thing as long as you are willing to listen to other people’s points of view too. The more we ask questions the better we understand each other. I’m never afraid to ask why until I understand why.

I do try to see things from both sides, to walk a mile in somebody else’s shoes as the saying goes. Of course, the world is not all black-and-white, there are shades of grey, which is why it is important to sit down and talk things through, to find a level ground. It’s only through dialogue that we can truly understand both sides of an argument.

I’m always willing to learn new skills, widen my horizons and listen to others. So hopefully this gives you a better understanding of who I am.

Thank you for reading my post.
