Falling from the moral high horse (Just sayin…)
posted by: VixenIt’s interesting what you come across while going through archives of your statcounter.
What’s even more pathetic interesting is to be reminded of a certain individual who continues to harbor such ridiculous animosity. This individual is the. most. malicious, vindictive, nasty person I have ever had the displeasure of encountering. And continues to ride their moral high horse. (hmm, morals…..I really think this person should look with in themselves and who they are…..)
It makes me pity this person. It makes my head reel that someone could be so close minded. Judgmental. And the maliciousness.…
Let me just say this.
I think it’s a huge disservice to judge people. It’s something I try really hard not to do. And while I may have opinions of my own, they are mine. I refuse to treat someone differently or shun them bc of choices they make for themselves. Choices that most likely don’t effect me or my life.
We are all not perfect. We all make choices and decisions. And *mistakes*. We also all do things that we felt at the time, were right. Or maybe they weren’t. But those decisions and choices or how they came about were what they were. All we can do is try our best to be ‘ourselves’ and strive to be who we are comfortable being. I do believe we should all be happy in our lives. It may mean, making the best of a situation. OR if change is what is needed, strive for it.
I guess I think of all *MY* behind the scenes ‘shit’ over the years, in my past, that made up ‘me’ and who I am now. That many people chose to judge at one point (and some *ahem* continue to do so). I think it makes me more sensitive to others and their situations.
I refuse to be a catty bitch. I refuse to harbor animosity towards people or situations. I accept and own up to my mistakes. I learn from them. I refuse to be close minded. I refuse to judge other people.
So I’ll stand over here. While that other person does her/their own sad little thing over there. I don’t ride a moral high horse but I sure as hell take the moral high ground.
Just saying.

Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend.

I just have to say that the picture is the *perfect* conclusion!

Hmmm … I understand not judging (God forbid I be on the receiving end of that – boy do I have baggage both past and current) yet at the same time, I think there are times when one has to say, “I cannot [read this, visit here, etc.] because it is way off from my moral compass. I don’t see this as judgment, but rather making a choice regarding the direction you want your life to go in.
That being said, I don’t “blog stalk” or spend far too much time worrying about what others do. If I find myself “bothered” by the moral compass of another, I walk away – not in judgment, but in caring for myself.
I’ve had to do this recently, and it resulted in the loss of what had been (I thought) a good friendship. Seemed this blogger was their blog, and when I stopped visiting, took it as a personal attack. It’s too bad …

Dana- Oh I *totally* agree. And that is a very good point. It’s fine to not agree with or like what someone else does.
So leave it/them well alone.
What prompted this is I came across a blog, mirrored after my own, making very nasty statements/judgments about me, my family, my husband…. and who I am. It was the blogs entire content. Which actually says a lot more about who they are than me. :)
That is a bummer about your ‘friend’ and the loss of the friendship.

Jealousy is a really evil trait that can make people say and do the stupidest things.
You are beautiful,intelligent,talented, funny, and sweet. You give back to life far more than you take from it.
Please don’t ever change, but please also remember that there will always be those who lack self confidence, and see you as a threat. Instead of looking inside of themselves and asking the very tough question “how can I be a better person, or be more like what I am envious of” they instead attack the very thing they wish they themselves were.
You are a brilliant star, just keep shining.
love,

Vk- you have just made my day. That was single handedly the sweetest thing anyone could have said to me at this moment.
*thank you* sweetie. xoxo

Interesting, as I recently came across a blogger who has done this very same thing – dedicated an entire blog to putting down a blogger she had disdain for. Not only does she spend her time posting about this other blogger, but continues to leave nasty, judgmental comments on the blog she mocks. Yes, there is something very, VERY wrong with these people.
I’m sorry this happened to you. I may not always agree with the content of your blog, but I find you to be an intriguing and caring wife, mother and woman. Seems so strange that someone would find that morally wrong …

we definately all form our own opinions about any matter, but it’s how we handle it that counts. i try to be as accepting and open as possible, amen to not judging people. hard to do since we’ve never walked in their shoes. i love the response picture. it’s perfect. :)

Well, all I know is THIS is the blog I come to visit and is also the person I’m excited to meet ;)

“A small mind and a big mouth usually go hand in hand.” And if you were even HALF of what this twat says/thinks you are, I would not still be your friend after 20-some-odd years. I’ve been happily married to the same man for 17yrs and it would be impossible for me to like you if you were *that* person.
Red RiderTwatface is obviously so miserable with her own life that she can’t leave yours alone. How sad that she doesn’t have something more productive to do with her time – say like spending it on her own family.

You are wise and a strong person to side step the petty spew from those that judge. We need more like you. Enjoyed the picture btw ;-)

It occurs to me that with all the wonders that the cyber world has brought us, it has also brought out a license to be mean in people. I agree..if something offends you, then stay away! The responsibility does not lie with the ‘offending’ party to police you from yourself…
It goes back to the old adage: if you don’t have something nice to say, don’t say anything at all….now if people would only adhere to that!!!
