I'm going to continue smiling, opening the door for others, laughing at my mistakes and flaws, enjoying what I find interesting, and being polite even to those who probably don't deserve it. But I am not a judge nor do I have the power to dictate what anyone should receive. So, I will try not let anyone's bitterness or intolerance prevent me from being the good person I know I should be.
It's not "being stepped on" It's understanding that not everything goes as planned.
