I’ve determined that non-action is an action. You can do everything to show someone you love that you care, that you’re really affected by them, that you need them in your life but when people stand by and do nothing in the face of such demonstrative behavior, even when it’s explicit in spoken words, their non-action is an action. This action is a slap in your face.
I was once treated this way by someone, and took this tactic for myself.
RULE: when uncomfortable or in a situation you do not want to be in, the polite thing to do is to not respond.
ARGUMENT AGAINST: This is what’s wrong with the universe. I recently bore the brunt of this tactic and I can say with certainty that non-action is as cruel as malicious action. To stand by and watch someone expend energy over something you might just hold finality to, is mean and I will no longer have any part of it.
From now on, I will TRY and make my intentions and emotions clear in all situations I feel uncomfortable, or where someone might be depending on me to ping back. I will return packs of energy to the universe as they are served to me, the best I can.
I won’t stand by and shit on someone through non participatory behavior.
To the inspiration of this post:
This post is now permanent (as long as my server and word press are….) It’s not a spiteful post, but I hope it serves as a return of a pack of energy, you just won’t take from me.
Even non-action is an action…and I’ve been dissed too many times.
Check out the new one I just made…I feel like the guitar riff, pensive, mournful, but clear….
