Critical ass

[twicketface]

I do believe the planets were aligned, as after hundreds of clicks of the 'Random' link, my own journal came up.

So, riddle me this. If a friend of yours does something rude/selfish/to hurt your feelings (but unintentionally), do you point it out to them or let it slide? I'm having issues with our cultural avoidance of helping people become better people. I just can't help but think that if I did something to someone else, I would want to know about it so I could correct it.

As always, I think I overthink things too much. Sometimes it feels that I'm trying to live somewhere in the middle of sell-out and success. Ideals shouldn't be on a sliding scale.

I still want to take a vow of silence.

This is certainly a difficult predicament. I think it all depends on a) how bad the act was and b) how well (or poorly) this person takes criticism.

Unfortunately, it seems that the people who fuck up the worst are usually the least disposed to take criticism.

Yeah, I think it's something that I'll just let slip by now but remember it 10 years down the road and still hold a grudge.

Don't worry - you'll have forgotten all about it.
