LOL, only but a few of my cousins are worth staying on contact with and they ARE on my FB Page. Sadly, I have felt the need to block many of them. The primary reason for blocking them is that they display selfish, self-serving behaviors and/or they lack intelligence and integrity.
Then there are those "fake friends" and those that I have found to be blatant liars. Yes, I do Delete and Block them.
Like my brother has said for years; "There's a Million of Um out There". Well, I've found out he's right... I've also found out their behavior is a reflection of them, and in no way reflective of me.
Those people don't give their bad behavior a second thought because for them it's their way of life ... it's a lifestyle. They're only wrong if they get caught and then ya still have to do some wrangling to get them to take responsibility for it.
Does it hurt my feelings? Yes! However, I have made the choice to forgive them... not for them but for ME.... because I'm worth it and so are YOU! I'm not going to damage my heart with bitterness, anger, and resentment for anyone. Simply put, our standards are higher, our foundational fortitude to do the right thing is stronger, we understand there is more then just "us" to consider in this world ... and lastly it's that abiding love and the motivation in our hearts that will allow us to reach higher ground ...
