Delicate Offers a Truce

[Heat]

Delicate: actions not words.

Demonstrate you have changed instead of promises alone, they'll look empty. And be patient.

You know I don't have to do anything right?

Everything I've offered is out of the goodness of my heart and I can take it back if and when I want to.

In fact, the response I've gotten warrants nothing but a return to the "Ol'delicate" if you're honest with yourself.

But I'll confess, its not unexpected. Cognitive bias is a very powerful thing.

You act like what you're "doing" is a gift, that we don't deserve.

That's your problem, you perceive yourself as holding some higher value over others in what you say. Every time you post, it always has to has this arrogant, righteous tone to it, that somehow we are all supposed to hold your words with the utmost respect.

I'll forgive anyone, I posted a MLK quote earlier that I stand by, hate can't drive hate out, only love can do that.

However, to be blunt, you haven't done shit. Stop acting like you've made this colossal change, and it's our fault for not seeing it. The fact that you respond with such hostility to someone who simply wants you to put words to action, just proves how self-entitled you see yourself, how dare anyone disagree, they must be wrong!

Your failure to stand by your words only lowers the amount of respect people will have for them. Which subsequently heightens your backlash and denial, constantly insisting that the lack of respect is nothing to do with anything you've personally said.


You've framed a thread that could be encouragement as a platform in which everyone's against you, hyper-focusing in on anyone who disagree's with you in the smallest amount, lacking the maturity to put your words to action and prove the people who question your motives wrong you instead decide to engage with every one of them before ever showing the change you promised in the first place. Empty promises. You lack self-awareness. That's this thread's downfall.
