Old fashion common sense consideration

In the year 2011, you would hope that we would all realize how important it is to be considerate.  However, I think some people missed the moral train to society. Donald Trump for instance, is famous for being highly successful at finances and building billion dollar empire; do you think a man with such financial prestige would be tactful enough to lower his voice while publicly doubting the President of the United States?

Facebook was created on the basis of Social and Intellectual comparison; a  network to link prestigious college students to one another for options of meeting and/or dating. However, the origin of the idea came from the anger of the inventor at his X girlfriend and intentions of humiliating her, along with thousands of other female college students for revenge.

Being able to communicate with our family and friends on a long distance basis has been the magnificent outcome of this both fortunate and unfortunate event. Yet,do we remember the importance of being careful and polite with our posting and comments? It seems as though in order to learn lessons and set boundaries, it is crucial to be at our strongest emotionally, while setting tactful boundaries; hence,"common sense consideration."

Honesty is always the best policy, but when hundreds or thousand of people can view your thoughts, what are the rules of posting? I am sure we have much to learn about ourselves and each other, and cannot help to wonder what the true intentional comments are about, if not positive/considerate?

I have on occasion disabled my Facebook account and taken a break, after learning of several hurtful comments or possible unintentional inappropriate remarks, and so I am on the defense about who I allow into my life or most intimate, personal thoughts with.

Some people find themselves overwhelmed and scared, some are more open, and  some great relationships are found again: ; made from scratch.

It is most positive that we are priveleged to have all of the options to choose what we desire; freedom of speech, and freedom of choosing who we allow in our lives.

Keeping in mind the Karma of Common Sense Consideration.

We are very lucky.

The importance of cleaning out your closet of people

Throughout my life, I have been repeatedly told by just about half of the people I've encountered, something negative. Most of the time it was something that was directed at me, and this has taken to until now to get over. 
 It is really frustrating and sad if you think about it; why would someone want to say cruel and intentionally spiritually crushing comments?

In a modern world with so much technology, books that can be read online and in your hand online, and tons of information to get us through the hard times, why do some people yet feel the need to externalize what they are feeling internally? I am stumped.

For years I tolerated it and kept hoping that the person/situation would change(exhausted myself with advice and also stuffing away those feelings these people/situations gave me). However, they are gut feelings and your instincts will save you, they saved me.

I have recently started putting my energy into positive things and positive friends. I have cut ties with people who I found myself second guessing my true personality around. It is the best decision I have made in years and I have gained energy and self esteem doing  it. It wasn't easy; setting boundaries, being honest, and weaning the bad apples out, but it was extremely needed and essentially beneficial.

I found myself becoming negative to the positive/healthy friends/situations I encountered because  I was becoming what It was I experiencing. This needed to end, so I started doing a people/environment "cleaning out my closet," (no pun intended although appropriate.

I wasn't quite sure what would happen during this process, some people reacted very angrily and hostile, hence verifying that they needed to go.

If you find yourself in a situation where you are giving more than taking in a friendship or environment (i.e. work,social networks) its time to evaluate the situation and decide whether the relationship is healthy for you or not. Try setting boundaries and see if that works, if not, phase two is removing yourself completely.

When you get that sick feeling in your stomach while in the presence of an individual; friend, colleague, or spouse, go with your gut, it will save your sanity in the end.

There are wonderful people out there waiting to experience a healthy friendships and  journeys to share with you!
