Re: Some people are just plan ungrateful.
Sometimes things don't work out the way we plan. Problems usually start when people feel attacked and defend their pride - like we all do.
Snipped Quote from Marc MacYoung on the Economy of Relationships; "Don't disrespect. Don't demean. Don't treat other people like ****. Don't insult. Don't verbally attack. Don't go out of your way to confront. And most of all don't be a hostile, self-righteous asshole -- no matter how self-righteous you feel. If that tone of voice would light you up, don't use it. If that look of contempt would infuriate you, don't look at other people like that. If someone being more concerned about their own **** and not caring about you lights you up, don't do the same to others. If people not listening to you flames you, listen to others! Being polite is *not* a sign of weakness, it's a sign of respect, reliability, and the willingness to cooperate with someone. Doing that other ****, says the exact opposite."
Is it possible being polite to one another and seeing each others viewpoint would help with resolution? Hey friend sorry about that + Yeah brother also sorry about that = an opportunity for a better outcome. Something to think about.
