tired

When there is something that truly upsets you, others may laugh and say that it is nothing to get upset over. They question why you get worked up over such "petty" things. Does that mean there should be a standard as to what issues people can or cannot get upset over? Is everyone expected to be on the same page?

Since when was it okay to say something heartless that upset someone and walk away because you felt like it was an insignificant matter? When was it okay to scoff at someone when they actually speak up?

I heard this a few weeks ago at a wedding. The pastor told the bride to be understanding, caring, and supportive of her husband. Then he turned to the groom and said these words: "Be the first to say that you're sorry."

No matter how insignificant something seems, if it upsets the other party, no words will help the situation other than "I'm sorry."
