All too often people take things upon themselves. Usually its a disussion, or an action. It makes them feel like they are "helping" someone else by taking care of it for them...this is where trouble begins.
When this happens people don't seem to think before they act. Whatever justice they THINK you deserve is generally swift and ruthless. Words are spoken that can't be unsaid, and feelings may be irreparably hurt by the carelessness.
My "favorite" is when they call me, and want me to relay the message to my husband....why do they do this? It's not going to sound any better coming from me, it's not going to hurt his feelings less, and if the intention is to make me the bad guy it's not going to work!
I would ask that people take on their OWN problems. Start and finish your own conversations, saying what you mean and meaning what you say! Fight your own battles! Don't let others put words into your mouth! And, before you say something, use the filter that God gave you....the one that stops the things that can hurt people's feelings from coming out before you go over them again.
