Well, I had a rough day at the hospital today. Let's just say that I don't do very well with people who do not show me or any one else respect. It absolutely burns me to where words cannot describe how angry I am. Of course, this little "episode" happened first thing in the morning so it took me a good two hours to put out the flames that were emerging from my ears and count all of the not-so-good words I had used.
What is with people these days? Do they wake up in the morning with the sole intention of screwing every person they see that day? I have come to realize that it comes down to one thing...inadequacy. People who refuse to show respect to their peers, or strangers for that matter, are completely inadequate with themselves and their abilities and insecure beyond description.
One thing I am so thankful for from my upbringing is the constant pressure from my family to give respect to everyone you come in contact with. Of course, we were warned that the respect we give will sometimes not be answered with respect, but respect them anyways. This is very hard sometimes. There are times where I want to lash out and describe how I truly feel; respect or no respect.
I was beyond mad this morning. At work, I treat everyone with respect. For one thing, I am definitely not the smartest person in a room and I am trying to learn everything I can from every person in that room. But, I will say this...I am one of the hardest working people on staff; no doubt in my mind. I will bust my ass to learn as much as I can as fast as I can and make it my own.
Respect. It goes a long way. You should try it sometime.
