Is it me or does it seem like other people often assume that their{{ issues-problems-life situations}} are far more important that what ever it is that "YOU" are going through? I won't lie, I have felt this way a time or 3, until last Tuesday, when this man told me that his 11 son unsuccessfully tried to commit suicide over breaking up with girlfriend!!!! (First of all, the boy was to young to be dating anyway- where does he go on a date anyway? The dollar store?) I began to wonder what could make that youngster consider taking his own life. Of course, I couldn't come up with anything because that would never be an option for me!
That forced me to face the hard realities that everyone not only does not C the world from the view points. Ironically, that could be both good and bad depending on how you look it. Uniqueness, makes the world go around, while creating an interesting work environment-lol! Now as for the little boy wanting to take the long dirt nap (don't judge me words, y'all know I am realllll) I am sure he felt that was his best option at that time 4 HIM, but what he almost found out is, that we don't usually get 2nd changes in those situations. Personally, something major for me could have resulted from Wardy having to attend college full time as a single father, while working a full and part time job and graduating with a 3.4 GPA, is close to that point, but heck why come that far to stop now. Perhaps it was no back up plan other than succeeding talking to me and Satan whispering to him.
What about couples in crisis? Silly argument after silly argument and yet the cycle continues daily like clock work. Small things soon add up to relationship ending things that destroy your relationship. Sure looking at it from across the room, we only see that its petty and easy resolvable right? What we, as on lookers, can't see is the heart palpitations from stress of another fight, we can't see the pain of reliving a past relationship fights that was desperately hoped to never be repeated in the new love union, we can't feel what that arguing couples are thinking about & the myriad of reasons to not stay and fight for fading love. Basically, the large fights have the same impact as the smaller ones.......(((PAIN))) suckers. At the end of the day, what is important to one person may not affect someone else the same way. Someone like me who has never had a drink and never will, may get tore up off of one drink, while a professional drinker like yourself, can drink a pirate under the table and go to work the next day with no issues.
I know you heard of someone being defensive or sensitive (not-gay....get ur mind out of the gutta)? If someone is like this, arguments are a guarantee. Starts out like this...."How come you didn't call me before you bought that item." If the response is similar to this..... Because it my money sucka, then Wardy suggest you hit the floor and run 4 cover, because you are sensitive! The person may just be saying " I asked because I wanted to surprise you and bought the same thing for you"!!! But now you just messed it up for everybody. How much better it would have been to respond to that questioning with " I didn't call because I left my phone on my desk charging by accident and I saw the item on sale and I know you been wanting one, I apologize!" 
Yeah life is perfectly simple why being sprinkled with a touch of confusion from many of us. The question to ask your self is, what do you have the issues in your life that you do? Are you part of the problem or part of the solution.
I am Ward
