I see people who obviously don't care how they are remembered. They don't pay attention to how they treat others or how they approach life (their attitudes towards life). I say that people should behave the way they want to be remembered, because deep down everyone really does care, and they care how they are remembered. So treat people the way you want to be treated and if you feel like you don't deserve to be treated well, do something to change that.
Dilemma:
If I were mild, and I were sweet,
And laid my heart before your feet,
And took my dearest thoughts to you,
And hailed your easy lies as true;
Were I to murmur "Yes," and then
"How true, my dear," and "Yes," again,
And wear my eyes discreetly down,
And tremble whitely at your frown,
And keep my words unquestioning
My love, you'd run like anything!
Should I be frail, and I be mad,
And share my heart with every lad,
But beat my head against the floor
What times you wandered past my door;
Were I to doubt, and I to sneer,
And shriek "Farewell!" and still be here,
And break your joy, and quench your trust-
I should not see you for the dust!
Dorothy Parker
I may have already said this but I admire your way of thinking. You seem like someone who sees the good side of humanity. Now, and I laugh when I type this, I kind of see the dark side of human humanity rather than that of the lighter side.
ReplyDeleteI treat others according to how I would like to be treated. The golden rule of course. However, I see life through an almost nihilistic lens, be it good or bad. I don't see the concern of how I am viewed once I'm dead. I can only hope people will care but I can't control others when I'm six feet under. I'm not gonna lose any sleep. Heh.
Don't hate me.
I don't hate you. I'm not gonna lose sleep over how others see me either. I am just going to do my best to treat people well and that is that. :)
