Personalities

I have spent years watching people. As a teacher for most of my career I taught every student in the building. I dealt with every type and subtype of personality. Later when I became a priest I also watched the interplay of different personalities. I have come to see that people who never dream they are acting in a way that would effect others in a negative way. Some people are sensitive and others are blunt. They don't do well together although they may not even see the issue. I wish that everyone could have a deeper understanding of other personalities because many personal conflicts can be avoided. When will we learn to accept one another and appreciate one another. Life is too good to let others have so much power over our lives. I allow it myself at times, but I try to quickly reclaim my own sanity. It hurts to see what we do to each other, but most frustrating when they are both really good people.
