Today at work this guy came in and called Utah, the church and me a racist.
I got mad.
I mean, I was pissed.
I almost started yelling.
I haven't gotten this mad in years. Literally.
My heart was pounding so hard when he left.
I told him that did not happen here. Meaning, my office.
He insisted that it did because it happened before.
I knew a few minutes after he left that I really had no reason to get angry. Of course, I should not have enabled his self-victimization.
But I could have offered some sympathy for things that happened in the past.
Would it have made a difference?
Probably not for him.
But it would have for me.

Why do you think you should have offered him sympathy? I don't know the circumstances, but he's lumped everyone together.
He was wrong. I don't know if you were right :), but he was totally wrong.
Hope you went home and had some hot chocolate.
