Yesterday I was struck by the
meanness of another human, specifically a woman who is in my life sphere and
possibly always will be. What I found the most unusual about the
situation (which shall not be described here - as I have too much social grace
to detail this woman's atrocities on the internet, although I believe she
deserves it...), is that this woman has no reason to treat me this way.
I never proclaim to be perfect (or,
let's be honest, even great) at anything, but I can truthfully say that I have
not injured this person in any known way.
Despite that, this self-proclaimed Christian decided to take me out at
the knees yesterday. In the past, there
have been some sharp jabs and a few unkind actions, but this one beats them all
– and hurt me more than I can say.
I expect this kind of nonsense from
people I know I have wronged, but from someone who I have tried to support,
consider her perspective (even when I vehemently disagreed with it), and
appreciate the challenges she has experienced – that is simply unacceptable.
Good old-fashioned meanness from a
woman who declares herself better. Wow.
I hate that someone hurt you. You don't deserve to be treated like that. Keep your head up. =)
