Aunty Acid by Ged Backland for February 01, 2025

me breathing i think was an enough reason for the most part

My religion was another.

I didn’t mean to do it, but I did when I was younger. Some haven’t forgiven me. That tells me that it’s on them in the first place.

Oh, I’ve done plenty of that!

Move on, there’s 8 billion people on the planet. You can’t please everyone.

“Hey there, Hate Slinger. Ain’t this here Planet big enough fer both of us?”

Some people hate others because they hate themself.

Just ignore the haters, Aunty.

They can hate me all they want. Leaves me one (+) less to pick up after, pay for, listen to, work around. It’s on them anyway.

These days, politics is enough as a reason.

That’s the normal!!!!!

If some hates me, Meh!

I have more important things to worry about than what other people think of me.

I choose to give the power to affect how I feel about myself to a very select few.

Or as my parents used to say (in retrospect very appropriately) “Stop that crying and bawling or I’ll give you something to cry about”.

Or you can really pi$$ them off and be nice to them.

I give them plenty of reasons.

Why stop at one?

How you react tells me more about who you are than who they are, don’t give them more fuel to stoke the fire.

I really, really like this sentiment and have sort of lived it.
