You know how that little thing inside of you sets off an alarm when your word choices fall below the bar of ”better?” And, you know how sometimes you slash away with your tongue only to find you were lacking information that would have been nice to know up front…and would have kept your tongue in a better conversational position originally? Don’t you love justifying your cactus-like behavior because the “other person” couldn’t ever possibly feel or know what’s going on inside of you…and it’s easier to be impatient or mean than to try to explain yourself? The better behavior bar is there for a reason. It’s to help promote a better quality of life for yourself and with everyone you connect with. The more you ignore the warning bells of the “better behavior bar”…the less you notice it exists…and the less desirable the quality of your life becomes. It takes just as much effort to be pleasant as it does to be a cactus…so it all boils down to a choice. Not many of us would willingly choose to hang with a cactus. If you want to mingle with better behaved people…you ought to be paying attention to your better behavior bar!!
