I hate feeling like i am being judged.
I know I live a less than idea life and i do appreciate when friends and family are upfront and honest.
I find in dealing with those who confide in me, i owe it to them to let them know when i think they are wrong… however I do not believe i should brow beat them for it… As such it annoys me when other people do that to me. They find out about an indiscretion and the “holier than thou” attitude kicks in, constantly berating you for being human.
I guess that what makes me the worse person to get advice from… because I will tell you that while what you are doing is wrong I understand why you do it… I find that, more often than not, i am at the same place in my life… who am i to tell you whats best… I would be a hypocrite…
The problem is everyone on this planet has a purpose.. there are people that need to be brow beaten into the right path.. and there are people who after talking to me will feel justified in continuing along the merry path to hell…
As a result i say to each his or her own. I will endure the brow beating, for while they annoy me they may be saving the some poor soul.. and For those who talk to me I tell them upfront I am no beacon of shining light… At the end of the day all our decisions, Wright or wrong, are our own and only we can be held responsible.
