me to see my peers as equals and to identify our common bond. i am not, as one can tell from my posts, one of those who is a yippy, hippy, skippy kind of guy. i am gritty, snarly and cynical. so when the topics that speak of seeing everyone as equals and treating them as equals comes along, i just want to roll my eyes and sigh. for me, at least these days, this is a big far0t “DUH!” do i have biases and prejudices? of course i do, i am only human. do they affect how i see people? of course they do, i am , as i said only human. do i do my best to see past them? every single day, no matter where i happen to be? of course i do, because i am working on being the sort of person i never imagined i could be. i have to admit, that amongst my peers, there are certainly a few i would pref never to hear from again, as they behave in what i judge to be a less than stellar manner, more than once, but even so, i do not get up and walk out to the restroom when they share, most of the time. 🤣
anyhow, i am going to hit the trail and enjoy my afternoon and help out one of my teammates at work, so he can render unto Caesar his due, it is a good day to be clean and i can walk with my head high and believe in being a better me, just for today.
