I was reading this article that made alot of sense, basicly about big people acting like little kids with there SMALL minds. It went something like this, with my added questions and statements.
Question "GOD", How do you respond to personal affronts or insults? All this that your carrying on about appears maybe someone made you mad. If you had high self-esteem, they probably won't bother you much.
Have you ever noticed that people with low self-esteem have a terrible time with anything they perceive as an insult? Is this you "GOD"? You see, beneath their façade of self-confidence, they're really not convinced of their own value or competence. O' my god this sounds just like "GOD". So whenever they believe that someone has insulted or rejected them, they come unglued. "GOD" needs some super glue, fast, not!
They fret and fume, they get angry, they spend a lot of time brooding about it, and sometimes they even seek retaliation or revenge. Sounds like the writer of this article I read must have met you "GOD". But people with high self-esteem just brush it off. That's not you "GOD".
The writer of this article went on to say: At the height of the U. S. Civil War, President Lincoln and his secretary of war paid a visit to General McClellan in the battle area to hear first-hand about how the war was going.
As they were waiting for the general to arrive, McClellan came in, covered in grime. He brushed by them, went upstairs, and eventually sent his maid to tell them he was tired and had gone to bed. The secretary of war was aghast and said to Lincoln, "Surely you're not going to let him get by with that. Surely you will relieve him of his command."
Lincoln thought about it for a minute or two. Then he said, "No, I will not relieve him. That man wins battles and I would hold his horse and clean his shoes if it would hasten the end of this bloodshed by one hour." It's the same for anyone who has high self-esteem. They are so secure that they can easily be humble and nothing threatens their sense of purpose and self-worth.
Think about that next time you feel someone insults you "GOD".
