I hate seeing people get taken advantage of, and it seems like the older i get, the more i see it.
It really hurts me and basically infuriates me when i see or hear about people who are getting taken advantage of, and they just sit there and take it. Or even worse, sit there and take it, but complain about it and do nothing to fix it. I think that every single person has at least one good trait and one good possession (but most have far more). But when someone exploits that person for whatever it is, its ruining someones' potential and chances are they will never develop that area of their personality.
This goes for anyone. Friends taking advantage of friends, boyfriends taking advantage of girlfriends, girlfriends taking advantage of boyfriends, parents taking advantage of kids, kids taking advantage of parents, managers taking advantage of employees, strangers taking advantage of strangers, people taking advantage of the government, the government taking advantage of people. Its one thing to be nice to someone in one way or another, and out of the goodness of your heart to continue, but there needs to be a fine line here.
Personally, i believe that once a person gets tired of it, they need to put their foot down and hold your ground. For those who have known for me awhile, you know me as the guy who would probably take it for a long time, and do nothing about it. But in the recent i dunno, maybe 4 or 5 years, i listened to my parents, and stopped being a pushover. Maybe this is why i never get along with my managers, because 90% of them are just trying to screw you over and use you to benefit themselves. I hate hearing about a person complaining that their manager did not treat them right or something is unfair, because once it becomes a habit, you need to break, and break it hard.
sort-of-HISTORY LESSON:
And i think this is partially from my roots lol. My parents have tried to teach this to me, and i think its really because of where i am from. In the recent centuries, so many nations tried to invade Poland, control Poland, and take advantage of Poland. Even in my blood, my grandfather's brother was part of the Polish Underground during the Nazi occupation of Poland, and played a huge role in running them out of Warsaw. Then he did the same thing during the Soviet control of Poland some years later, and he was a high valued target for three different nations at that time. He disappeared some time after that though, RIP. Afterall, the two colors of Poland: red represents the bloodshed over hundreds of years on the land fighting for independence, and white represents the peace that the blood was spilt for.
Moral of the blog: People have suffered (and still suffer) all over the world because they didnt stand up for themselves. Instead of letting it happen, everyone needs to stand up for their own personal honor.
