This should be higher up

“It's hard to win an argument with a smart person, but it's damn near impossible to win an argument with a stupid person.” – Bill Murray

A person told me once it's better to make a wrong move than just be stagnant. You have a fifty/ fifty shot the first time and then the second time and the third time.... etc. But if you do nothing, nothing will change.

Terrible people are in every position, especially ones with a lot of authority.

This is something I actually struggle a lot to convince myself! Rationally I know there are bad people, but emotionally, God, how can you be mean or unethical and live with yourself? Dude, I would never be able to intentionally hurt someone or hold something against them

That's why politicians need term limits!

"I'm older and demand respect." I always loved that line from people who won't treat people respectfully and in turn will tell you that "respect is earned."

It's really weird when I see someone older than me acting a fool. I'll be like "You look like you managed to go how many decades, and nobody told you it's not okay to scream at a register clerk, or use the N word?"

I am much wiser now that I'm old-thank God.

Look at the White House for that

True. But smart people respect their elders. Idk which elderly person hurts the OP.

Tying this one to the authority post as well, respect is earned, not given. There is a difference between having respect for the position and respect for the person, be they president, police officer, CEO, or manager.

Sometimes it just means you’ve been dumb for a longer period of time than most.

Age does not equal the amount of wisdom someone has. Not to brag, I’m just stating what I’ve experienced, people have told me time and time again I’m “wise for my age” or really smart. I think they mean intelligent. You can be an old fool, a young fool, old and wise, and young and wise. Humans need to stop looking at the outside for information and look at actions for the inside of a person, words from a person

Every damn politician in America!

You go boy/girl

Sometimes family is toxic and they don't deserve to be in your life. Sometimes you're better without them.

I cope with humor, some of it may be dark or offensive. Joking about others is a terrible thing to do, and it has a much different effect.

1000 isn't a lot? S**t it is to me. But you're right, and you'll only owe more over time.

Depends on the company. Generally, the bigger it is, the less likely your loyalty will be reciprocated.

I believe what someone tells me of themselves until they show me otherwise

Red flags are real. Listen to your instincts pls

I'm so rational about it i can't even fall in love lol

Dental care should not be expensive

I learned at an early age (late teens) that I can't drink enough to get drunk. My stomach/body reaches a certain point before it rejects all I have ingested. So, I can enjoy alcohol up to a certain point but then I have to stop. In now in my 60's and it still applies. Every now and then I'll have one drink too many (thinking I hadn't reached that point yet) and... well, up it all comes. Good and bad, I guess.

Be honest, not polite. You will be able to live with yourself afterwards.

True but people change for the best and for the worst

But the fear of rejection is sometimes stronger than the urge to show affection

Life sucks, s**t happens and it's not your fault. Sometimes it isn't anyone's fault. What's important is dealing with it the best you can and moving on.

Resiliency is a way underrated trait

Does not matter even legal documents. I've known too many who still got screwed over

I wish they do the world would be quiet and peaceful

Or that promises to go to treatment when X happens.

It only takes one very small thing to bring it all down.

DON'T BE AFRAID TO WALK AWAY!!!

Same goes for seatbelts, they will save your life. There was a girl in my town a few years back that got in an accident not too far from me and flew out the windshield. She was pregnant. As you can guess, she didn't survive.

A falling piece of toast does not have an unbuttered side.

This one is easier said than done. It's certainly not impossible to get another but sometimes that security in your current position prevents you from getting another.
