Are there people in your life that you admire/look up to so much that you can't stand by while they are insulted or spoken badly of? I know there are people like that in my life. Who are yours and why?
My older brother mostly, he's my role model. That's why lol Any one of my family of course but I have two friends (one we're not as friendly anymore) that I would punch the hell out of anybody who would badmouth them. One's been my closest friend for years and the other is a girl...nuff said
I have people I look up to. They're my best friends in the whole-wide-world. I would seriously kick anybody's ass if they *****ed/badmouthed/insulted either of them. Same goes for my little sis &bro, but I don't look up to them, I think they look up to me :"D
My heart and best friend. My heart friend I've known all my life, she's means the world for me. There isn't anything I wouldn't do for her. She can though defend herself too. She's really tough! But still, if anyone says anything insulting to them I'd be kicking there ass!! And my best friend. Well, I became friends with her at the age five I think. We went elementary school together, but 'cause I moved to an other city I had to start in a different middle school. But we're still best friends, so I'm not gonna let anyone hurt her. Also my family. Even though they can defend there self better than I can defend them, probably, I'd still try to help them if someone gives them a tough time.
My sister. If there was anyone in the world that i would defend it'd be my older sister. As for the friend thing, meh. i cant really do that with the friends at my school. Its like you're friends with them one day, then you're suddenly in a completely different group the next, it doesn't work. Then again, if someone stuck up for me, then i'd stick up for them, 'coz I'm a nice girl, but a tough one at that.
No. I like to keep a clean head on my shoulders and keep in mind that they're all human like the rest of us. Sure, not everyone is equal in terms of capabilities but I do realize that nobody's perfect and that I should have overly high expectations of anyone. If someone were to badmouth my friends, I look at the credibility of that statement rather than the person it's coming from or is directed to. Of course I will give my friends the benefit of doubt but I won't get mad at anyone for saying something negative about my them unless that person made deliberately false accusations.
There are, admittedly, two. One is Fearless (herp derp :L), and the other one is a priest that I know. I honor him so much for so many reasons that I'm not even going to try to explain it here.
Most of the men and women in the military. Sure, a few of them may abuse their power, but that's been happening since the dawn of militaries. Most of them deserve a LOT more respect and admiration than they get. They certainly do not deserve to get boo'd when they finally come home after risking their lives for the booers' freedoms.
My uncle. He died in October of last year, and he really was an incredible person. He was always so cheerful and made anything fun, and would literally do anything for the people he loved. I do really wish I can be like him.
A couple people, but for different reasons. Most of them I've known for years and haven't let me down once.
Of course. I admire the people I love, and I usually can't take it if anyone's being insulted, let alone somebody I care about. There are certain traits I admire about everybody I love, because if I care about them so much, there must be something I find fascinating about them in order for me to care (if that makes any sense. I apologize if it doesn't, I'm pretty tired today).
I do admire some people for their tenacity and courage or talent and such but I don't feel an over-emotional response about it really that if someone badmouthed them, I'd be so tremendously upset. I'm not a real fanboy of much, to include people, even if I have a lot of respect for some people out there. People have their opinions and they are entitled to them and so while I may defend the person and say that I have a good deal of respect for the person, I wouldn't get all super defensive about someone else not liking the person. I would also probably listen to what their problems are with said person because maybe there is something I don't know... though I do hate gossip, so if it was rumor crap I'd just roll eyes. If someone is that big of a naysayer though of someone I do not think deserves such animosity, I will more than likely tell them I feel they are mistaken and I really don't care to hear anymore of their opinions if they won't hear out mine and that it's better to drop that convo point. If they won't, I leave. It seems stupid to me to beat up someone because of words, whether in regards to cussing me out or someone else. I only physically react off of physical attacks.
The only person I've ever truly admired in my life (great grandmother), is dead. She's still my role-model for life and I love her dearly, though. <3
omg i love classic writers like tolkien and shakespeare and i hate it when their work is made fun of or insulted because immature people cant understand or appreciate it! yes... :D
Over my rather short lifetime, people have been like this to me. Friends, family members, and various other people who are/were close to me. Now that I've matured a bit, I've come to realize that the only one that this really true with is my girlfriend. :3
my girlfriend. she may have died on saturday but i still admire her. she helped me through a lot of things. she helped me through the grief of my parents deaths to the loss of my faith. she could always put a smile to my face. just talking to her relaxed me and soothed every stressful thing.
