69.Ping Pong

Hello again, and today is Friday, November 23, 2012. Have you ever met that type of person? That type of person that finds another person of that same type and antagonizes them just for the sake of antagonizing them? I know I have. In fact, I've had the chance of being able to see a certain pair of them that were bound together despite neither of them wanting to have anything to do with each other. These people are the parents of a close friend of mine. His family looks normal from the outside but, on occasion, they fall off. Their family basically lives on the edge of chaos. The minute a fly breathes the wrong way, the entire family function breaks down into dysfunction. And just like in dominoes, once one thing goes bad, everything else goes to hell in a hand basket. They start throwing insults at each other only to be returned just as strongly by the other as if playing a game of ping pong. The entire situation that family goes through could be halted by those people being less antagonizing towards each other. Not full happiness, but to try to get to a point where you could call it the lesser of two evils. Also you have those antagonizing type people develop into bullies. Now I'm not saying that I've had any really bad experiances of bullying, but I don't listen to those who say: "It'll get better". I know that they mean well, but when you are experiancing it firsthand, It's hard to find condolences in those words. The words I choose to remember are the ones that say that you need to live through it and there is little you can do to change how the bully acts. Although I choose to use those words I know that in time, yes, things will get better, but for now your job is to live with it and survive it.

As always,

ZenMercury,
Keep calm, and if you find yourself antagonizing someone, stop yourself before you make them a somber person.
