perting

i have a friend who used to say "perting" everytime she wants to emphasize an adjective of something or someone.

(e.g. me: "that food was delicious"..friend: "perting!"...)"perting" is like the vernacular equivalent of "very much!" but used in street slang. a sort of emphasis on certain sentences.

everyone in our circle of friends eventually caught on to the word, and it seemed as an immediate understood term within the group.

the point of this blog is that today, im exhausted.

at placement today, i had a realization.

that when one is expected, and becomes the normal, the "special" aspect of that action, or the meaning is diminished.

take for example, friendliness. when one opens themselves all the time.it becomes an expected action. so the meaning of being friendly is lost. because everyone expects it.


when one is ready to help, people around that person has lost the ability to appreciate that, just because it becomes the norm.


when one is too trusting, and too patient, and too forgiving, its expected, and the generosity of the act is lost.


it is frustrating to say the least.

one gets tired of giving,forgiving, trusting, and being too overtly open...because some people, no matter, how the giver is willing--the receivers become ill-mannered and too ungrateful to see the act of selflessness, that time comes, its not really worth the trouble at all.
