It's kinda been rough the last couple of days encountering rude people. I wonder if they actually mean to be rude or are they just unaware that they're being rude. Either way, how do you deal with that kind of attitude and come out a better person? I bite my tongue a lot because so many times I just want to make a rude comment back to make myself feel better and "put them in their place" so to speak. I pray for a change of heart. That I would still treat them with respect without having them walk all over me. That I would love then still despite how they treat me.
It amazes me how the words that we speak impact people around us. Words can encourage, but can be used to put others down, make ourselves feel better, or to take advantage of others. Our words reflect our attitude and our attitudes reflect what is in our heart. It's not so pretty sometimes. If we're not aware the need to change what's in our heart, our attitude won't change, then the words that we speak won't change.
I usually try to see the best in people. There are days that it's difficult to see the best in people.
