So here it is… how does one go around changing the behaviour of others? Hahahahah not in this lifetime! I’ve always had this thought, if you cant change them at 25, no one can!
So really, i’ve been very patient of late, more so since i started my PG13 Project but really, the more i keep quiet and watch, the more appalled i am.
In one case i was observing … people just do not like to work, even if it falls under their responsibilities! Why?! They wait until someone else picks up the pieces for them, and then still, not even a word of thanks. Well really, i witnessed this behaviour in quite a few individuals, and when i studied their modus operandi, they’d probably pick up and do it unless someone actually pointed in their direction or someone in power was part of the group. Sad. No sense of responsibility.
Some people just refuse to see light at the end of the tunnel. They’re just to caught up in the ways things were done, that even though other avenues have opened up, and there are so many different solutions around them, nope, “i’ve done this before and this is the only way it can be done”. Sigh. Oh yes, i cant let this good one go. “This has been done in XXX country, hence this can be done here as well!”… wonder whatever happened to looking for the local fit etc … sigh sigh sigh…
Oh well… even in every other relationships, i see this – friends, boyfriends, sisters, parents, relations etc. And i’ve given up trying to change them. The other day,someone asked me when was i going to ask the special man in my life to stop smoking or whatever else. Now why will i do that to a grown up? He knows what he has to do as he’s had his health scare already. I’m not going to go after him on this… why bother?!!!
On that note, like i know a few people who are always, never on time. I could bet my bottom dollar that they’d turn up half an hour to an hour late every time, without fail, with no respect for the other person’s time. And if you tell them so, they get defensive with a string load of excuses. And these are grown ups. It’s no wonder kids sometime turn out the way they do cos grown ups around them provide bad examples as well!
Nooooooooooooooooooo…. i’m not saying that i’m perfect… far from it especially… i am, without a doubt, the most blur, clueless, mentally screwed up soul around. And for that…. sigh… i’m trying to improve. And i’m still trying .. cos it’s very tiring and trying to put up with people and their idiosyncrasies. I’d rather just not know most times. Saves the heartache and headache.
So for now… i’ll still stick to my life saying… if you cant change them at 25, dont bother after that!
