Insignificantly Enough, It Makes A Significant Difference

People can be extremely nice sometimes, making you happier and feeling better about yourself. But other times people can also be very mean, causing you to feel unhappy and bad about yourself. Sometime these nice and mean things are intentional, done so you can feel those feelings. The most influential though is when these things are unintentional. When someone unintentional makes you feel nice abut yourself, it feels a lot nicer than if it is intentional, because you feel it is from the heart. But the same goes for unintentionally, though the bad act may not necessarily be from the heart, it is at least done subconsciously, unknowing of the hurt it causes. And thus, causing more. Well, that is the way it is for me at least...
So pretty much, it hurts, it hurts badly when someone does something that unintentionally bad to me. Whether that be not returning an e-mail or phone call that I expect a reply from, or not noticing me as I walk past you in the hall. I know, I know, I do these things too. But that is why I am writing about it. About this dilemma in human kind. People often unintentionally hurt other people. It's a dilemma for the ages.
But there is always a flip side. The unintentional help. The little acts that people do that you often take for granted. You may not even realize that it may put a smile on someone’s face when you hold a door open or pick up something someone may have dropped. I personally have been noticing it a lot more lately, being on crutches and all. I'm always stuck hoping someone will open a door for me now, for it is hard to do it without transferring my crutches to one hand and holding the door open with my back while I attempt to hop through. And when you are left hoping for these little acts of good will, you obviously notice them more.
Well, I guess the point of this little post is to watch what you're doing. You could be hurting someone badly, or brightening someone’s day. Technically its sort of good when you don't notice the good things you do. For then they become habit and you make more people happy. Making people happy is good. I love being happy!!! But let me tell you it is quite hard being happy when you are stuck wearing crutches and a knee brace... I just say look at the bright side, people open doors for you more!
Much Love,
Abundant Felicity,
