If you meet one A**hole...

If, when I wake up in the morning and go forth out amongst the other people in the world and in the course of my travels and interactions I meet a person who treats me poorly - then I have met one A**hole. I smile, wish them well, and carry on.

And if, as the day carries on and I continue my movements and pleasantries with the rest of the civilized world I should run happen to encounter a person who speaks to me harshly - then I have met two A**holes. I smile, wish them well, and carry on.

And if, as the sun moves across the sky and I make with my many to's and fro's and touch the lives of those around me I should meet someone who treats me badly, speaks to me harsly and makes utterances of ill will towards me. I smile, wish them well and run like hell.

Then it's time for me to stop - go somewhere quiet - and look in the mirror. Because in all likleyhood:

I AM THE A**HOLE...

So - if you meet one A**hole who treats you poorly - give them a smile and wish them well.
And if you meet another A**hole who speaks to you harsly - give them a smile and wish them well.
And if you meet a 3rd A**hole who treats you poorly, speaks to you harshly and makes utterances of ill will towards you - give them a smile, wish them well - and then take yourslef aside.

Give your self a smile
Wish yourself well
And start your day all over again.

P.S.

And for those of you waiting for the punch line...

Of course you could always take out your AK47 and mow those A**holes down!
