Oh my goodness, how many times have we heard, or said, the words "just walk away"!
I work at an elementary school as a noon supervisor. When children come to me with problems usually the best advice I can give them is to 'walk away' but when it comes to taking my own advice I am not so good at it. Recently I have found out just how hard it is to walk away.
I want so badly to just go up to a certain person and tell them that they have no right to treat other people as they do, no matter what problems they themselves have. Walking away makes you the bigger person, sure, but what is so wrong with just telling someone they are an 'ass', that they are totally wrong!
It's hard to always be the 'nice person' and to 'grin and bear it'. I want to be the nasty one for a change. NO, I really don't but for just one split second I'd just like to be able to show this person how they make others feel. Not that I want to be like her but I want to try to make her see how wrong she is. I want to tell her that she has the situation totally twisted and that I know it and everyone else knows it and that we are not turning a blind eye to what she is doing.
"Holy crap Batman!" it's tough being non-confrontational. And is it always right not to be? Sometimes is it ok to say "I'm not going to take it anymore!"
