So what bothers us the most? Not being able to control something? That’s how it is for me anyway. If I know that I can’t control something, it frustrates the heck out of me. If I have no grasp on it. Like something absolute for example, something that cannot be altered in any way. I won’t lie either, sometimes even people’s thoughts and opinions bother me. Maybe it’s because I can’t control them, or maybe it’s because I think they’re wrong. Who knows, but it gets frustrating sometimes. I think most people feel this way too. It’s funny to me how certain people are different. I don’t know if it makes sense what I’m trying to put into words here, but bear with me. Ok let’s use Bob for an example. Bob may not be a punctual person, as far as friends go anyway. But there is a meeting at work, well there’s Bob. I mean it’s funny to me how it just takes certain situations or certain things happening to get people together. A funeral or wedding for an example. Attended one in this last year? You’ll recognize relatives that you didn’t even know you had, even if they’re from around here. That just amazes me, the fact that it takes something like that to get people to be on time and/or get together. So what does that really mean? That those particular people, have the ability to be on time, when it’s important to them? I heard a quote once, and this is paraphrasing, but the quote went something like this: “Generally the person that is late is a lot jollier than the person waiting on them,” That makes a lot of sense if you think about it.
