Soooooooo…my wife said something the other day that kind of struck me and today confirmed it. We were on a double date with some friends and I started talking about my day to day school life. I started droning on about how I have to go to this Tutoring Center every single day and how I HATED a particular tutor there. This guy is in my same class and the only reason why he is in my same class is because he failed it last semester. He doesn’t say calculus right and his wife tells him when to go to bed. I don’t like him or the way he tutors(well he doesn’t actually tutor, he just talks and everybody get more confused). A midst my cruel deciphering (I spelled this so wrong that spell check couldn’t even dissiffer it) of this mans personal and professional life I said a sentence that silenced the room. “We call him *BEEP* to his face.” (*BEEP* is not a swear word, but a mispronunciation of his name that could be dissiffered as cruel) Now my wife (hey cutie) said that was mean and that I shouldn’t say that and that I was being a bully. Well I agree with her, but that doesn’t make me a bully does it? I’m no bully, bullies say things to hurt peoples feeling and to be mean. I only do it to hurt his feelings and to be mean to him. Oh shoot!
Now on a bit different note, but in the same song, I started to feel uneasy in my math class today. A seemingly crippled kid who is super brilliant walked into class late (as he did everyday) and sat down. My friend who I sits next to me leaned over and said, “That’s the third day in a row he’s worn that shirt.” I gave him a nod of approval and I chuckled to myself. WHAT THE HELLCK IS MY PROBLEM!!! My parents(hey m & d) didn’t raise me to laugh at others misfortunes. I guess I am a bully, I guess I’m the guy who picked on me all through high school and the guy who turns his back on the poor and hungry. I can’t be, I just can’t be!
So what do I do? Uhhhh…Scott. Yeah, Scott? Stop what you’re doing and change…DUH! Oh okay Scott…I’ll do that.
I hope it’s that simple. If me in high school saw what I did today he would punch me square in the balls. I hope the realization of my actions is penance enough to my former self so he won’t punch me in my baby makers.
