There is someone who has been involved in my life, through another person, that has said repeatedly that not only I, but my husband and family think that we are better than others.
I always find it interesting when someone says this about another person because it has no bearing on the person the phrase is being spoken of, but it says volumes of the speaker.
It tells me the speaker is envious. Envious of the person to whom the are attempting to degrade by making such a statement. Envious of their life, how they live, and how they react to others.
It tells me that the speaker is aching. Aching to have a life that is full of value.
It tells me that the speaker is small in action and mind. You can't make statements like that and not be a small thinker. Of all the things going on in the world, of all the things in life that matter, worrying or becoming upset about someone else's personality should be the least of your small minded worries.
When I think about why this person would say things about the people I love, it all makes sense. We have love. We have happiness, we have support, and we have togetherness. We have the things that other people are envious and/or aching to have.
So, to the person that continues to think that me, my husband, and my family think we are better than other people.... go ahead and tell yourself that if it makes you feel better. Really, all we care about is each other; loving each other, supporting each other, taking care of each other, and being the best persons we can be for ourselves. If that makes us better than others, so be it.
I am sorry you feel that way. I hope that one day you find the happiness in life that we as a family have.
