1. a Man is only man as along as he keeps his word, once a man loses that (his word), he is no longer a man.
2. Treat all people equal, no one is better than anyone else regardless of race, religion, color, or society status.
You just managed to show that you don’t believe any of those thoughts / principals (that’s truly sad)..
I feel sorry for you, if you think that one person been is better to or lives to a higher standard than others.
This post only show that CC (Patrick) is / does have those same principals and beliefs. (Thank god it’s lost in our society)
That or it’s late and I got pissed when I read I dint mater!.. I’ll be sure to tell me kids, wife, my boss and volunteer groups that I don’t matter.. GGGeeeeezzzzz…  |
well, let me start by saying that those are good values to teach your kids.
but wow, you were kinda rough on the guy...
...and I think you missed his point.
He was praising the fact that Patrick is a stand-up guy, who runs a top-notch company. He, like me, seemed truly impressed with Patrick's integrity, and actions. I too, sometimes have trouble typing what I mean to say. I think his comment about your existance was meant to portray the fact that Patrick only knows you through this forum, and has never actually met you in person. He typed one thing, but meant something different than what you pulled out of it. It wasn't meant to imply that you don't really exist. It was, again, meant to be complimentary towards Patrick for running his company better(in our eyes) than the competition. It's a gross assumption to speculate ones principles based on a misunderstood comment. In my opinion, telling someone how sad they are because they don't have principles is degrading. It gives the impression that you look down on him for not having
your principles. Also, it is no better than treating someone badly for being of a different race, religion, color, or society status. Besides all that, what makes you think he doesn't have those principles to begin with? I don't understand how by complimenting Patrick, he shows an obvious lack of principles.
What is obvious to me, is that you try to lead your life treating others fair. You want to be a good influence on your kids, and be a positive addition to our society. With this in mind, I suggest re-reading his comment. Try to understand that it was made not about you or your insignificance, but about someone else and the positive effect that they had on him.
