It's odd -- I know we're supposed to strive toward being loving, forgiving people and all that, but I truly have zero desire to be nice to habitual buggers.<br /><br />I thought that by doing this experiment, we'd learn something about taking the high road. That didn't happen...at least, not for me. Instead, I regretted being nice and wish I had avoided the idiot completely. Not sure what that says about me as a human being, but there it is.Patricia Ellis Herr, Alexandra Herr, and Sage Herrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03077445974909636411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6109746923888360185.post-70548697109121186652012-05-20T10:37:28.299-04:002012-05-20T10:37:28.299-04:00I love this idea and think it's a great experi...I love this idea and think it's a great experience for your children. I struggle with letting go of the times I am annoyed by jerks. It would be more than just selfless in that it would help me because I get more upset about the interactions than they do. <br /><br />One time I wished a woman well as she was leaving my workplace. She had majorly wronged me the year before. I wanted to be forgiving. I also had a selfish motive. I thought that by taking the high road, she might apologize for having done what she did. Nope. She said nothing, and I ended up regretting being nice to her. I wish I told her off and cursed her. Not really, though--I would probably be regretting that if I did.Marcyhttp://www.tootimidandsqueamish.com/noreply@blogger.com
