HMmmmm .... An interesting couple of questions. (1.) "when you are at work do you act different then if you are at home?" To this one I'd have to give a qualified yes. What I mean is that I would treat people differently, but only to a point. The form this would usually take is keeping my mouth shut, not expressing my opinion. For example, when I was getting my little farm up and running, I worked part time at the local hardware store. The town the store is in has a population of 752. That ment that there weren't a lot of jobs and that word of mouth got around quickly. To further set the scene, this is the red-neck, Southern Baptist, Republican rural south (not a hippie friendly area). A lot of the folks around here are "pro-life" and pro-death penalty!! And one of the biggest pass times is hunting. I, personally, think a hobby or sport that has a goal of killing is horrible. But while up at work, when customers would bring the subject up, I would remain quiet. If asked about it I would simply say, "I've never done any hunting." However .......... There were times when involving racism, politics, or environmental issues would come up and I could no longer bite my tongue. And I came close to getting fired several times. Not for my opinions, but for getting into arguements with customers. Does keeping quiet make me a sell out? Yea maybe, but I think it's more realistic compromises. But either way, it's the honest answer. (2.) "do you every treat people differntly accord to how they treat you?" "i also treat people differnetly according to how they treat me" This has to do with the good old fashion "Golden Rule". I try my best to live by, among other things, the Golden Rule. And I take it a step further than anyone else I've known. I want people to treat me as though I live by the Golden Rule, therefore I treat them as though they live by it. Part of that means that people treat me the way they want to be treated. That's the Golden Rule, but looking at it from their prospective. And that then leads to me treating them the same as they've done to me. So because everyone treats me differently, I end up treating them differently. Another thing is that no two people are the same. They may be similar, but still they're different. That means treating them different. For example, I have two sons. I don't treat them the same. I treat them differently because they are different from each other. But what I do is treat them equally. Peace, poor_old_dad
I act very different at school from at home. At school I am quiet and pay attention. At home I am either hyper or angry. I treat people differently according to how they treat me, of course.
When you're at work, Play the GAME, little brother. Be yourself at home and at school. And I want to to start forgiving your sister for messing with ya. We know she does. Look at it these two ways. First, and MOST important, it means she LOVES you. If she didn't like you, she'd ignore you. Reason2: As long as she's picking on YOU, she's leaving someone else alone. Some people are more fragile than we are.
When I'm working for corporate america, I can't be a total tye dyed, hippie fried chick. What I do bring to work is a set of ethics that are with me no matter what I wear. I don't share much of my private life at work if I want to keep a job. A time and place for everything. As far as people go, heres a lil story... A man was walking down a road and came across a snake, almost frozen near death. "please pick me up and put me in your pocket to let me get warm" he asked the man "If you don't I will surely die." The man exclaimed " But you are a snake and will bite me!" "oh nooooooo" he assusred him "I promise I won't, please, before i freeze to death." So he convinced the man and he placed him in his pocket, an hour later the snake fatally bit him much to the shock of the man. " But why did you do this, you promised me?!?" To that the snake replied "I am a snake, you knew I was a snake when you picked me up. Its my nature."
At school im maybe more awake and talkative and shit, but when I go home I just chill and smoke and dont do anything lol. But ya sure I treat everyone different. They say you act/treat people better that look like you, which basically means I look like a stoner and usually treat stoners differeent then other people.
No matter where Im at I follow my heart, in todays society with the stereotypes that have been instilled upon us, I really have no choice but to dress a little different and talk a little different.. but you know when it all comes down to it no matter how I ACT Im still me, and Im true to myself...I always treat everyone the same.. yea I get aggrevated sometimes and say some mean stuff about them (never to their face.. thats not a good thing though I should really learn to stop that) but I always treat them the way I would wish to be treated, and try not to get snippy, rude or short, their human beings to, and I am no better then them as they are no better than me... I guess to sum it all up all I can really say is be true to yourself and follow your heart and who you really are, and treat everybody else the way you wish to be treated even if they arent treating you that way at the time, maybe if your persistent enough it'll catch on.. it can be quite contagious you know
