PERFECT TIMING

There’s a time and place for everything, right? There are times when something is totally acceptable, and other times when that same thing is completely out of the question. I think it’s weird when people sometimes don’t recognize those certain situations in which they need to provide their undivided attention for, whether it’s students dicking around in class when there is a guest speaker, or when someone is on the verge of a nervous breakdown and just needs someone to listen and/or provide some sort of genuine comfort. When stuff like that happens, it seriously upsets me, whether or not I am directly affected by it. It’s just… rude. And if one is in the “nervous breakdown” scenario, then it just makes the other person feel like complete shit if the individual (or individuals) they chose to turn to cannot even offer the slightest effort to make them feel better. One of the most honest things someone can get in the world is the sincere, undivided attention from someone concerned about their feelings. It sounds cheesy, but you should  all know where I’m coming from, because when you feel at your lowest point, and you need to talk it out, all you’d really want at the time is for someone to just listen, and in some cases, stay optimistic for your sake. I can’t seem to understand why there are people who just can’t seem to recognize certain situations and decide what the appropriate behavior is; again, there is always a time and place, and it’s the considerate thing to do when you know for a fact that you should be listening. If that’s not common sense, then I don’t know what is.
