What is something others do that sparks your admiration?
I love people with integrity and I always admire people who talk the talk and walk the walk. Now, don’t get me wrong on this. There is a fine line between standing on your principles and doubling down on wrong opinions and some people cross it a lot and then don’t know how to take a loss or apologize.
I like people who don’t get sucked in with the crowd, for example if someone is against bullying they will be against it no matter what the circumstance and what people they are surrounded with. I think that another trait of that type of people is that they can listen to other’s perspective on everything, disagree, agree, take valuable input and have a civilized conversation about everything.
When we are talking about standing on business, I appreciate when people have the integrity to cut out those who go completely against their beliefs and continuously push their agenda onto them. This is often an issue with political, religious and ideological questions. I’ve never come to a point where I had to distance myself completely from someone because of their beliefs and behavior, but I have put some distance between me and some people. Yes, we can hang out sometimes but no, I will not validate you in the opinions that you hold that are detrimental to other people.
Another thing I appreciate about people is when they can preserve their calm in any situation. I am quite the opposite of that which is why I started to keep my mouth shut in the last few years and I will usually respond (if I think I should) after a few days when I’ve had time to collect myself and make sure I won’t completely annihilate someone in a fight and lose my nerve. I can be quite harsh and hit below the belt, which I am not proud of, but I am working on it. We are all work in progress.
Love,
Luna
Don’t forget that my first novel is available on Amazon: Little Rebellion
Also you can get my poetry books: Rehab and Identity crisis
Wow, what a great post. I can agree with every word you say there. I also believe that I’m one to admire from what you’ve written. I try hard to do all those positive things you said.
I’m gonna answer this prompt myself and link to yours because I find it a really awesome read. Thanks!
Thanks for sharing Luna.
I wonder, though, how much of our assumed and inherited labelling is accurate/true?
One question I invite people to consider, even if for many they think of it only in terms of a thought experiment, is:
What is there when there is no thinking?
Take care, Julian
I liked this post. I prefer to not hang out with people who have opinions that I hold that are detrimental to other people. They make me uncomfortable.
