"I have always despised
the whining yelp of complaint
and cowardly resolve."
-Robert Burns,
Scottish Poet known as the Bard of Ayrshire
I found this quote when I Googled "Passive Aggressive Quotes". I Googled "Passive Aggressive Quotes" because I have been playing this Passive Aggressive Game with a certain Facebooker for the past few days.I have no idea if this person reads my Blog. I doubt it. I doubt it because it is not about this person. And this person tends not to want anything to do with anything that is not about them.
Normally, I don't deal in "passive anything". And I very rarely deal with "aggressive" at all, either. I have been known to show a lot of strength when defending those that I feel need my strength or defense, but I rarely show any of that courage for my own honor or reputation. I truly don't have the energy. And sometimes I fear what I might lose if I were to scream, yell or lose my cool in some situations.
So, even when I am very tempted to finally speak in a voice that would show my anger, my hurt, my resentment - I squash it.
My Heart is Full.
But lately, it aches.

Sometimes when you scream, yell, lose your cool, or just stand up for what you believe is right for yourself (you and you alone), you DO lose.
I take that chance...a lot. And I opt to deal with what could be lost, because for me, it is so much more important to stand up for myself.
That being said. I am sure there are other ways, other than how I choose to handle things, that inevitably yield the same results.
My mother always said that she was like a volcano. She let everything stay inside...and let it build up and build up and build up...until one day she would explode. I could never be like that. I hope too, that by squashing "it" - you don't just explode one day....
I am sad that you are sad.
