Almost all of us live in the environment with connecting with others, which we rarely block our interactions with other people. Since we need to have the interaction with others, we shouldn’t give them the attitude. We are all equal no matter what your position in the society is, how successful you are, or how much money you earn. Everyone is equal and need to be treated equally. We all have the bad emotional some time, which we might give the attitude to others. Have you ever treated waiter poorly because you had a bad day? Have you ever felt impatient when the sales person goes to crab what you want? Our emotion changes no matter it is because we have a bad day or we just feel unhappy on our own. We should treat people respectfully.
- Don’t vent your bad emotion to others: People are not tools for us to vent our emotional on! If we have to vent our anger or bad feelings, we can go to gym, watch movie, talk to good friends, or go for a walk etc. We don’t have to treat people disrespectfully to release our feeling because others have feelings, too. If you treat people poorly, I am sure one day others will treat you disrespectfully soon.
- You will never know may be someday you will need help from them: Maybe you will think you will never see this sales person, waiter, or stranger etc. ever again, but how can you be 100% sure about it? Maybe we will bump into them someday, and maybe one day we need their help. So don’t give others attitudes because we might need to beg for forgiveness one day. You never know!

Those are very kind words. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this topic. It’s true that it isn’t always easy to bite our tongues when we want to lash out, but in the end our patience and generosity can be our strongest values, not a bad remark or physical violence.

Thank you, Patrick. We need to find the better way to release our emotion. And of course the worst way is to give the attitude to others.
