“That is the best—to laugh with someone because you both think the same things are funny.” Gloria Vanderbilt
I knew he was angry with one person who was of that particular nationality. So even though I certainly did not agree, nor did I think his idea of desiring certain people not to be in heaven was reasonable, I let it slide. There was my problem. I let it—and so many other, seemingly insignificant comments—slide. I was beginning to see that by letting it slide, I was ignoring my values, those things that define me. I became afraid this might eventually affect who I was as a person; my core values would be compromised.
Is there someone in your life who thinks certain things are funny, but you don't share their humor? Despite being offended by their humor, do you minimize their behavior or believe you can change them? What change will you make today to protect yourself from compromising your core values? Note: Gloria Vanderbilt (1924- ), and American heiress and socialite, who had successful careers as a painter; designer of textiles, pottery and glassware; author of novels and memoirs; actress in theater, film and television; fashion designer and model; and apparel designer.
