How many times in a day do i see ppl pacing, glancing nervously at their watches, hearts beating wondering if they will make it in time for the bus or train so they won't get into trouble for being late at work? Alright so u can't be a slouch but will u be praised for being 5 mins earlier at work at your eulogy? r.i.p - she/he was conscientious? How do you want to be remembered? What have you done for another person today without expecting anything in return? What kind of a legacy would u like to leave behind? No really, ambitions and expectations from self and others aside?

How many times do you see people staring at someone who does not fit into the 'norm' .. a size, an outfit, demeanour? Don't u know...round is STILL a shape. GET OVER IT. 
An outfit is that person's individual expression, and why shoud u stare gawk or gape when it already can be a harsh world out there? Dressing culture-appropriately is individual choice, not everyone in a hijab harbours terrorist thots. Fundamentalists exist in EVERY SINGLE SOCIETY, not just theirs...and once again, its a personal choice. 

Backhanded compliments are not compliments - say it when u actually mean it.
Its okay to have a bad day - what isn't ok is to shirk away from a person with the blues.
i wouldn't do that with an AIDS infected friend. 
check ur judgement calls...is it u talking or learned societal rules talking?
Just who would you rather be? Just who ARE you? how would u like your descendants to recall you as a real person? 

go ahead, be successful, be a social butterfly, take care of ur health, love ur life..but don't stomp on people in their downtimes..it might be you next in line, and u WILL need all the support u can possibly get.

I know. I was there. Now i aint...but i shall forgive and in time forget. How about you?
