Hey, it’s Vlad. Have you ever had something that everyone else wants and you have to move heaven and earth just to keep it for yourself? I mean sharing is great and everything but sometimes you need to exercise self care and be a little selfish. I know it sounds unusual hearing me talk about being selfish as I am such a giver, but in this case I made an exception.

You see I had this ball that I really wanted to play with and Sergei was all over me like a cheap suit in the rain. I tried everything but he just wouldn’t leave me alone. I even tried burying my ball in hopes that the out of sight out of mind principal would work, but no such luck, Sergei was relentless.

The thing is there where plenty of other toys around Sergei could have, but he wanted MY toy. It was really quite rude if you ask me. It’s been said that “rudeness is the weak mans imitation of strength”. Certainly Sergei’s weakness was showing.

Perhaps this can be a teachable moment where Sergei’s rudeness towards me can open a broader discussion. I spend a fair amount of time on the interwebs as it helps me keep up on current events. The amount of rudeness I see is staggering. People seem to take pride in their insults. The anonymity of social media creates a training ground for heinous behavior. Once people begin to feel empowered by this behavior it begins to permeate their everyday life, they lose all social graces…and as you all know I am an expert on social graces.

So to review. Unnecessary rudeness doesn’t make you strong it shows the world you’re weak. Cruelty to animals does not make you strong, it makes you weak. And Sergei stealing my ball does not make him strong but makes him weak….and a big poo poo head 💩
