Turning a Blind Eye

Into the Ring. It has gotten some negative reactions. Whatever. Silly people believe that it is sage advise not to let bullies, asshole, etc. bother you. They say to let someone put a negative shade on your day is major offense and clearly it is YOU not the asshole who has a problem but I do not believe this is the case. I believe that letting people walk all over you is an offense. I believe that turning a blind eye to ignorant behavior is a crime against society and to simply let nasty, cruel, and negative attitudes prevail is the major cause of all of humanities problems. Like a miniature invasion of Poland, people that don't put their foot down often do not see the cost of allowing such aggression until it is too late. The emotional nature of a person that seeks to inflict emotional damage on another being should never be placed in a position of power and turning a blind eye to that behavior is doing just that and nothing could be as foul. We owe it to the world to tell our friends, our partners, and associates, "Hey man, that was asshole thing to do/say." My former climbing partner was a firm believer in not allowing that sort of negative behavior to persist and she had no problem with telling someone that they were being an asshole. Lucky Badass is at Smith right now.
