Can't we all just get along?

Last night I watched the ever so popular “The Bachelor” and I was very shocked to discover that one of the bachelorettes was allegedly having an inappropriate relationship with a producer of the show. I actually felt bad for her because she looked so sad. Anyway, the part that made me angry was the reaction of the other women.

When the women were told what was going on, it was absolutely absurd. They were shocked (of course), but the thing that irked me, was that the women were actually upset..lol. Why were they upset? Roslyn was the prettiest women there; it was very obvious Jake would have kept her until the end. One woman actually cried..lol. Give me a break!! They were not upset, they were happy. They acted as if they were just mortified, “how can she do that to Jake?” is what they said. Why can they not admit they were happy she was gone?

It angers me when women are just plain mean with each other. I truly believe that in order to be happy in life (no matter what you do); you have to be truly happy for others. Why do women want other women to fail so badly? Why are they satisfied with seeing them hurt? Unfortunately in this world there are people that bathe in other people’s misery. There are some women that feel insecure and are not confident with themselves so they feel it necessary to insult and belittle others. Some woman cannot admit when another woman is pretty, sexy, or smart. If they admit it that means they may feel beneath them. It is the exact opposite. If you can admit that someone is pretty or sweet or intelligent, you are letting others know that you are confident with yourself and you are able to see the good in others.

It is a long life to live if you cannot see the wonderful beauty in others. There is a saying, “When you hire people who are smarter than you are, you prove you are smarter than they are.” It is ok to admit you don’t know everything, or that there may be someone that looks better than you, or is better at something that you. There is always going to be someone with more money than you, better looking than you, and more intelligent that you. This is what makes the world spin. We are all different and instead of criticizing this, we should embrace it.

Last night, these other 14 women displayed such classless behaviour. They were hypocritical and just obnoxious. I think they were worse than Roslyn with the behaviour they displayed. Not one of them smiled and said, “Phew, she is gone.” That would have been what I would have said. How can you pretend to be sad at what happened when you know damn well she would have been the woman he chose. They are they to compete, so just compete. Let’s call a spade a spade; she was the prettiest, she was sweet, and now she is gone. She made room for the rest of the women to get in good with Jake, so what is the problem? Did they not come there to win him over all the other girls? Yes, they did. So instead of pretending to be disgusted and care about her departure, just shut up, move on and continue with the show and the reason why you came in the first place. I say, let’s be happy for others, be honest with others, don’t be catty, don’t be mean, cheer on the underdog and smile. It actually feels good when you love and laugh. The world already has challenges with serious issues that are well beyond us, so as women in this world, I ask you this, “Can’t we all just get along?”
That’s my peace today!
