How Not To Be Seen

You know... I gave up telling people off for lent. Or New Years or summat. But, today I just had to do it. I've been carrying around a bit of anger and I'm not being sarky when I say that, it truly has been "a bit" of anger. And I never really addressed it full on because I thought that I usually regret it afterwards. But when it's a case of standing up for yourself and taking your power back or your self-respect back - it is TOTALLY worth it. I don't think it'll be one of those situations where I will say, "you know, they didn't deserve that really" because sometimes, they do deserve it.

In some respects it seems as daft as being in the Revenge Business (a la Princess Bride) but I think if you can actually substaniate your feelings into some actual facts of the matter, you can become empowered and entitled to tell a person off. I was able to quantify actual damages resultant from another person's lack of emotional intelligence and lack of respect for other people. And as a good samaratin (I love how I'm justifying this for the greater good), I believe this person needs a good telling off so that if any part of it sticks, society will be a better place.

But, the reality is, it probably won't stick at all. Given all the wake up calls this person has had in their life, it's not likely mine will even ring faintly in the background. But it did me a world of good. To quote my own self in one of my infamous Streets of NYC moments, I ain't stupid!
