I decided to like that, in assumption (oh no, I remember what's said about those...) you meant it positively. Here's hopin!

@Tvxhed: I did mean it positively,I was referring to how mean she was being to you. I can't stand it when people are mean. If you would like to chat sometime just message me. Have a good one ☺

I honestly think it is that we are taught to just do what we are told. We don't teach people to think for themselves anymore. If we all thought for ourselves we could stop some of the problems you have stated. We are brought up just going with the flow and not questioning what we are following.

So stop doing what everyone else is doing then. My husband got terrible grades all throughout high school because it wasn't meant for hom. Now, he teaches music full time, and composes. If you just take a leap of faith and do what you are meant to do, you won't have to be a part of the culture you don't like.

@naoradix: well an open mind in general. For one thing, an open mind to accepting some people don't seek or like conflict and so they avoid it when it's unnecessary or not potentially helpful. It's pretty obvious we disagree, and so further communication will likely only underline this rather than erase it. I would like to enjoy my Sunday and I would like you to enjoy yours as well. If we disagree, let's just leave it there. No reason to beat it down and raise our heart rates.

You should have an open mind in accepting that you assume a lot of meaning in other people's words and tell them they are creating conflict when you don't want to hear their side because it's different than yours. Conflict is only avoidable when two people understand one another - but that isn't what you want. You want to be agreed with. And anyone who does not, and has a different opinion, is a problem for you, that you avoid. Good day, sir.

@naoradix: I do accept that I assume a lot of meaning from other's words; that is how communication is achieved.
I do not disapprove of hearing opposing viewpoints - when they are well thought out the criticism is aimed at being constructive.
Your replies on the other hand, were full of assumptions (one assuming I am like your husband used to be, and another being that my decision to not want to have an Internet argument with you - meant that I only want to be agreed with, and that others with differing opinions are a problem for me.
Those are patently false, and your assumptions are frankly insulting.
Have an amazing journey through life.
