ROUND #2 THE FIGHT OF THE POT AND THE KETTLE

Pointing fingers at someone? Name calling back and forth? Saying things that are rude and nasty? Have you been guilty of these things? These reponses are a few concepts of the verbally abusive individual. Well, that's like "The pot calling the kettle black."

"Hay pot you're really black!.... Oh yeah! Well ..kettle you're blacker!"
"I'm not as black as you! No...you're blacker than me!"

You'll find many times people will do just that, and just possibly you and I have at one time or another been included in the people. Quickly one can be to point a finger at someone else when they have the same kind of actions. Attitudes, appearances, and the social aspects of us all can be included in name calling. I was told that sometimes if a person is verbally abusive they are often talking about how the feel about themselves.

Insults to injury is never considered as appropriate behavior. If there is a verbally abusive person you are often in contact around before you wish to retaliate consider another approach and don't fall into the trap of doing what they're doing. If they are cursing you doesn't mean you have to curse back. As in one of the most recent topics I mentioned how talking too much without diplomacy can become a tongue of dangerous tales and lies. The same can be applicable in words that abuse.

Name calling is an instrument designed for destruction if it is generated with hateful undercurrents. One must never consider name calling as having any good or positive effects, and it should be avoided. If a person is calling names; I suggest that some action be taken to remedy his or her unruly tongue. Always consider other feelings and watch what you will say. [Counting to 10 might help] You can easily slip into ring with The Fight of the "pot and the kettle."
And Disqualified....."You're... BOTH OUT!

"My punches made the darkest rings on your face.....Oh no they didn't!... my punches made even darker rings on your face!!" "Oh yeah!....Yeah!" Pot you're Black!...Kettle, you're Blacker!

Someday, I'll be finished writing these little notations of sayings, Until then...well

oooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I'll blow out bubbles OOOOOOOOOoo..

What did the Pot and Kettle fail to see?

BEING BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL.... AND SO IS PEACE.
May peace be with you today... all day.

LET'S REMEMBER TO MAKE PEACE WORK.

If we have not gone through the phase of brokenness, we tend to react too quickly to adverse circumstances as we are not yet dead to our flesh. We must experience a complete death to our self before God could use us more mightily for His glory ,,,,,,,,help me lord !

I do agree with you Miisrael and it does no good to stoop to the level of the person who resorts to name calling unless what one is saying is true. Last weekend while at work, I had no choice but to let one of my colleagues know that she was too bossy and that I'd had enough because she had been pushing me around telling me what to do for my patients as well as when to do it.

We all could use a nudge to remind not to be so loosely in control. Afterall, from time to time we have to express just not to the boiling point!
Pots and Kettles boil we know!
