Have you ever had a conversation where you are spilling out your true feelings to someone who really could care less?… i mean someone who doesn’t care what you think about.. who you are… or really doesn’t care about you at all? the have an agenda… to mention a new product… or put their viewpoint in the fore front… whatever it is.. they really don’t care about who is on the other end of the phone… just as long as they get their say… honestly you may as well just be a plant… or a pet… or a piece of furniture… they treat you as if you are replaceable and they don’t care….
wait til these pompous and egotistical people are perhaps older and say …. in a nursing home… or somehow just considered a number on a chart… or a person taking up space…. or something so demeaning as those categories… … maybe when someone treats them as if they are not the unique individuals they were created to be…when they are not known for the unique experiences that made them who they are…or even no one knows or cares about the amazing people they had the pleasure of meeting… or the amazing life experiences ….. unique relationships… or even… amazing conversations and experiences they can recant…. MAYBE when they are not valuable in the eyes of some other ego driven/ pompous person… maybe they will think back to when they decided that they were “too important” …. to be kind or nice to to others…or even honest or ethical… and what about law abiding… that maybe each and every individual is valuable and not just put on this earth for their own personal use…..
which brings me to a point that i have wanted to write about for a really long time… treating people as if they are replacements… replacement parts… that anyone will do if they are the right height, the right weight, the right hair color… that any girl is replaceable with any other….
I guess if you were fake… like an actor… you might want to be a replaceable part…. able to be so generic that you could pass for anyone and if you were an actor or con-artist…. you may want to actually be able to be other people….. right?
But for real people… the ones who want to have real conversations.. want to develop authentic lifelong relationships… where conversations, memories and events and occasions are unique… are personal and are not replaceable! well….. its not acceptable… being considered a replacement part… or being considered not valuable …. no… it is not acceptable to be considered not a valuable or unique individual… at least to me it is not acceptable!
