This isnt going to be a blog about photography.
Today I'd just like to take a few moments and talk about people. People; you, me, our friends, family, the cashier at the grocery store, and your trash collector. Everyone.
There's a lot to be said about treating people right. People who treat others with respect will gain mine. People who tolerate others, despite the fact that they dislike them, also gain respect.
But people who feel the need to go out of their way to exert their false sense of superiority display such a voided sense of honor in themselves, raise themselves to a whole new platform of asininity.
School bullies are a good example. "Hey, I'm a bully, so I'll yell childish names at you to make myself feel uber superior!"
But this behavior doesn't stop in the school hallways. Sometimes it involves name-calling, sometimes it involves unmistakable body language. In either case, how we behave in the presence of those we dislike speaks volumes about who we are.
You don't have to like the people around you, but it would be to your own reputation's benefit to be cordial. You are watched by everyone around you, whether it be children, other adults, prospective employers (known or unknown), teachers, students, family, and friends.
Set an example of what a prudent human being should be, and remember that those you disrespect may be carrying heavy burdons themselves. You may be in those shoes one day.
