It's Called Integrity and Kindness People...Try It!



in·teg·ri·ty (n-tgr-t)
n.
1. Steadfast adherence to a strict moral or ethical code.
2. Honesty
3. Moral soundness

kind·ness (kndns)
n.
1. The quality of being warmhearted and considerate and humane and sympathetic


I don't claim to be perfect, in fact, I know that I am far from it. But what is with the lack of integrity and kindness now-a-days? I mean, we're not in high school anymore, being mean to someones face for shits and giggles is no longer appropriate behavior, it wasn't even OK to do it then, but at least I've learned that important lesson and I have matured past that. I am constantly bombarded by people who don't take responsibility for their actions. They make a rude comment, or act in a mean-spirited way towards another human being, and then act as if saying "I'm Sorry" or "I'm Just Kidding" in a condescending tone absolves you from your bad behavior. There is sarcasm (which I frequently bestow upon others) and then there is just plain, flat-out meanness which is a bunch of fuckery! There is no excuse for it anymore people. If I catch you pulling this kind of crap, I'm going to call you on it.
