Do you have the potential to be a REAL jerk?

Question

...a saint?

Answer 1

To be a jerk--sure. I've been there, done that, it's overrated. To put it simply: everything *everybody* does has consequences somewhere. The good news on that is: We all matter for somebody. The bad news on it is: There's *always* going to be someone out there who has your number, and who is going to be just plain *better* than you are at being cruel and mean.

And the ugly news on it is: Concussions suck, and so does being stuck with a clicky jaw for the rest of your life from *one* severe beatdown.

To be a saint--I'm not so sure. I try. I aim to please. Problem is, I don't have a lot to give other people. I never really have had a lot to give. I've been born poor, raised poor, and for the time being am still *stuck poor*, donated computer aside. So I can't imagine myself being a Mother Theresa or a Gandhi, where I just throw my whole life away and just *give endlessly* until I die. I'm not one of those bodhitsattva (spelling?) types.

And....truthfully, I still have some things I need to have and know for myself before I can give up on them. I'd like to be able to drive a car someday. I'd like to know, in the intimate and romantic sense, the love of a woman, the love of one who loves me, that I love back. I'd like to become self-sufficient--to feel secure and *NOT* so poor and desperate and pressured and put-upon in life, just to see what that feels like.

And I need to know what happiness is--in the absence of any depression or other messed-up states of mind.

So I doubt I could be a saint any time soon. I have needs still. I'm human still. I'm still feeling lonely and deprived and shut out. I don't think it's possible to be a saint from that place.

Just saying.... ^_^

Answer 7

Yes, but we all do.

I try my best to be kind to everyone, but I am very a very direct kind of person. If I think someone needs "gentleness" I'll do my best to soften the blow, or ignore the matter completely. However, I don't think you are ever doing a person a favor by not telling them the truth.

A friend of mine told me a few months ago that "I am a girl you definitely want on your side."

Peace.
