Like the famous words of The Persuaders, "It's a Thin Line Between Love and Hate", and that couldn't hold more true when applied to my current stage in life. I'm not one to believe in such things as Karma, or that every action has an equal and opposite reaction, or even that God takes note of all your right and wrongdoings and compensates or punishes accordingly. It's not for me, although I do believe that too many coincidences end up NOT being coincidence at all.
All of my life I was taught that the idea way to respond to an insult is with a compliment. 2 evils will never equal a good, or so they said, but I found out in life that it just doesn't hold true. I was always one who when insulted in the street or looked down on, responded with a smile or simple "good morning". I was always one who whenever visiting the relatives was harshly criticized and mocked, ended the visit with a hug and kiss to the cheek of those same aunts, uncles, and older cousins. I've always been the type who when school teachers or bosses proceeded to intimidate and unnecessarily scold me, would just conclude and excuse myself with a simple "yes sir" or "yes ma'am"., no questions asked. Heck, I was even one who at one point in my early teen years, would dismiss any traffic accidents cause by irresponsible drivers as simple, "bloopers" and would not even care to file a police report, in order to relief some grief from the other person, thinking to myself, "That persons life is worth more than any car". Boy was I wrong..... Life taught me a hard we deserved curve ball right in the FACE!! Thank God it did while it was still early.
Now tell me, you, the reader... ¿Where do I draw the line between being a very good caring person and being just PLAIN STUPID? ....
