Every once in a while, I will meet someone who, with all his/her accomplishments in life, find it appropriate to treat us normal mortals like crap.
So each time, I would think, it doesn’t matter how high you are on the food chain or how many awards you’ve won or how much you have accomplished. If you can’t/won’t treat others with respect (or at the least, politely) and think that you are above everyone else, then you are nothing.
Because your accomplishments do not give you the right to lord over others. It does not give you the right to claim that you are better and above everyone else.
You definitely won’t earn my respect, that’s for sure.

What is wrong with people?!
How can they put their pet to board and then just abandon them?!
Just saw a posting of a beautiful goldie for adoption. Apparently, her owner dropped her off for boarding and never came back.
Gawd, what is it with people?! Stop treating your pets like garbage!

You are a shameless, selfish, inconsiderate moron for throwing your trash out of your car onto the road this morning.
Even little children would be ashamed of you.

I’ve just finished reading the book.
I thought it was quite inspiring and one of the cool things it mentioned was Alice. I’ve downloaded it but haven’t checked it out yet but if it helps make sense of the programming mumbo jumbo I learnt in college, I will readily bow down to it 
Some of the points/quotes I appreciated and took away from the book (most of these are direct quotes from the book) :
- Brick walls are there for a reason. They’re not there to keep us out but are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something.
- Automobiles are there to get you from point A to point B. They are utilitarian devices, not expressions of social status.
- It’s not a real vacation if you’re reading email or calling in for messages.
- When you’re frustrated with people, when they’ve made you angry, it just may be because you haven’t given them enough time. But in the end, people will show you their good side. Almost everybody has a good side. Just keep waiting. It will come out. *This needs to be worked on. I currently do not have this type of patience! Plus I don’t have that much faith in humanity.*
- A good apology is like an antibiotic; a bad apology is like rubbing salt in the wound.
- Honesty is not only morally right, it’s also efficient.
- No job is beneath you.
- Sometimes, all you have to do is ask… to get what you want.
- A parent’s job is to encourage their kids to develop a joy for life and a great urge to follow their OWN dreams… not the parent’s dreams.
If some of these don’t make sense, get the book and read it.
Some may find it rather depressing (it was, after all, written by a man who had terminal cancer) but as mentioned, I found it inspiring.

Two failed adoptions.
Note : The adoptions failed not due to any fault of Meg’s. One person wanted a more active cat to interact with her child. Another one was a first-time cat owner with a 1-yr old cat and even though I explained that it is normal for cats to hiss and growl at other strange cats when they first meet and that they would take some time to get used to each other, the lady was so stressed out that I didn’t want to push her further.
Sigh…
I don’t know how the hardcore rescuers do it, trying to place so many homeless animals and getting rejections, but I feel physically stressed out even trying to rehome one.
Maybe it’s coz she’s my/our cat.
All I can think of is how lonely and cold she is out there, given the rain each day. And how she didn’t sign up for this.
Sigh.
I shall let my family and friends tell you about me. These comments may be rather old but I think the gist of them still hold
