The Way I see It

I am a Starbucks addict and while there is nothing wrong with me being addicted to my triple shot of coffee I am clobbered with the Starbuck Trends. For the last year the cups come with comments they have dubbed 'The Way I see It' ....Creative.
I don't always read them, but today I did read it and I am going to post it below. For me I agree with this one hundred percent, I couldn't have said it better myself.

I think when we get angry at others, most of the time, we're really angry at ourselves. It is not "us versus them" - we are all connected. Perhaps the anger comes in how much of "us" we see in "them". Whether it is cutting someone off or taking more than one's share, perhaps we are angry at ourselves for doing similar things every day. In any case, change will come when we stop pointing the finger and start looking in the mirror. - The Way I See It #177.

I am not a complete saint in this area, but I know that what I do and say will affect and mold my children. Kids are cruel enough and easily influenced. We don't know what kind of a day another person has had and when we smirk our bad mood to someone else that is passed on to the next person they run into. I always tell a friend of mine to "stop and think, before you speak". Once you say something it is not as easy to take it back, whether you meant it the way it was recieved or not.
