Why do we treat our loved ones worse than we treat perfect strangers? It sounds funny, maybe even odd but it’s the truth. And I’m not saying we should treat strangers any worse, we should be kind to everyone equally but especially those we love most. Those that mean more to us, those that we love should be treated with love and respect but instead we take out our anger and frustration on those we love the most. It would be a good idea to consider how we treat others no matter who they are or what they mean to us.
Show Notes:
-don’t be mean to strangers
-we would be polite and respectful to a perfect stranger but when it comes to our loved ones…
-bad day, your boss yelled at you, a customer treated you badly or maybe a service ripped you off so you’re in a bad mood.
-who do we take it out on when we get home?
-who is punished for our bad day?
-those we love the most….spouse, friends, pet – dog lover…animal lover, dog will always be loyal, it will always love you.
