ok, you have a different thoery of respect. when i'm talking about something i could have died from and that about ruined my life. making a joke is not respectful. so yeah, i got mad. i think all people deserve respect, unless they have done something really wrong. have i done something that wrong?
and i think you're concept of "strong" is wrong. people that attack other people like that feel threatened... otherwise why would they have a reason to be so rude? when people tell me not to do something because it bothers them... i listen. i dont get all mad. i think "strong" could be when you're able to control your feeling in a way that is more kind, not just let them explode.
No one deserves more than the bare minimum of respect till they earn it. Meaning, I wont spit on you if I don't know you, but if you say something I don't like, I'm gonna call you out. If a person demonstrates themselves enough to me, i give them the benefit of the doubt when they say something stupid. I assume there was a reason for it. I shrug and move on.
You didn't do anything WRONG, you just said something I found to be fairly silly, so I called you out. Period.
Strong means you have power. You have power over something when you have the ability to destroy it. That is the definition of power.
My concept of Strong is, in fact, exactly correct. Weak people who live in a happy little bubble provided for them by strong people don't like to acknowledge what real strength is, because sometimes it's not pretty. But that doesn't change the reality of it.
People who LISTEN when confronted end up in middle management, people who attack when confronted end up CEO's.
