Chapter: Insolence
Ever meet those people who just like to argue? The ones that'll pick apart any topic to bits, to find something controversial, just for the heck of it? Talk about annoying. It's fun for debates and stuff, but let's take it down a notch, life isn't like The Great Debate.
See, I'm not one to become angry very easily. I contain myself and act civilized, you know, to get by and progress in this society. I also believe in a little thing called respect. You give some, you get some.
So say we're in a, uh I don't know, a meeting. Someone is speaking. Isn't it kind of like the right thing to listen to the person who is speaking and not talk? Out of common courtesy? But you know, that's just me. Side conversations? Rude. Getting upset and becoming insolent with the rest of the group because you were asked to stop several times? Childish. And then they listen to you, to hear you contradict yourself on something, to then argue about that, so they can gain some points, in theory. That's when I become a little bothered.
Being insolent in some situations is alright. Like if some creepy guy is trying to hit on you, consistently after you kindly ask for him to stop, the more power to you. If not, pull out your mase and call the cops. But if you're at fault for some disrespectful situation and you're trying to prove your point by being more disrespectful...give up while your at it.
But anyways, what I'm saying is; know when it is appropriate and when it is plain dumb to be insolent. Then, you'll get the respect you want.
In summary: Don't be mean, people won't like you.
