I know several men and women who “react” on impulse in a childlike manner, with little maturity and forthought. They say and do destructive and cruel things without any sense of reflection or restraint and always seem to feel horrible after the situation. They apologize and swear they “know better now” but get them upset and BAM! it happens again. Sure, it may not be the exact same way but always some variation.
This seems to be more and more common these days. People walk around with a combination of entitlement and lack of accountability and verbally attack, hurt, betray, insult or otherwise offend those around them and expect all to be “ok” the next day.
What many men and women do not understand is that those episodes leave small cuts and scars, and over time, they destroy the body of a relationship (platonic, romantic, professional, familial).
Do you show restraint and maturity under fire or do you go off like a child, name-calling and acting out?
