RESPECT?

I was thinking again yesterday about how there is such a lack of respect in this world. So many people have no respect for nature, no respect for authority, no repsect for EACH OTHER. It bothers me so much, yet I am just as guilty as the next person... I can be a catty bitch. I let things fly from my mouth that I shouldn't. We are all guilty of that, to some extent, expecially women. We are gossip whores. What sucks is that I really don't have much respect for people in general. I let them bother me too much. Why should I care that so-and-so is a slut, so-and-so drinks too much or that so-and-so is a moody, depressed pain in the ass that takes things WAY THE FUCK too seriously?

I am an ADULT. Not a fucking teenage bitch in the girls bathroom. Everyone has their own problems. If they choose to talk about them, great. If not, great. I have to have enough respect to NEVER open my mouth about things that I am told. I have the capacity to understand that there are certain things that I should never EVER repeat, under ANY circumstances. I mean, I'm not THAT stupid. But sometimes the lines get blurred and I speak out of turn.

What in the holy fuck am I rambling about? My mouth has gotten me into a lot of trouble lately. Seems I said something to someone about someone else that I shouldn't have. I don't even remember what it was. But it was enough to upset someone SO MUCH that they had to call a certain someone ELSE and have a little hissy fit... When asked what the fuck was so upsetting, they were told to call ME because I said it. The three of us have been friends for years (20 to be exact) and I don't remember exactly what it was I said, but I think it had something to do with what happened 13 years ago. Some little, insignificant thing. Or so I thought. We were children! The three of us really need to get together and sort this out like adults. I feel like I'm in fucking Jr. High again. I don't have time to dwell on this kind of shit...
