I think we may struggle with the concept of positive and negative reinforcement! Discipline is also used as someone’s “wheel house” and me being rather pensive (deep in thought most days with a mouth and mind that works at top speed) I try my best to consider one’s circumstance. I’m not sure if people understand “humble beginnings” or never forgetting “where you came from”… if I truly desire to be Christ-like (Christian) I must be mindful who I speak to… everyone thinks they’re their own representative which isn’t always true- it should be. At any rate, I think YOUR perception is your reality (and your truth). Speak what resonates with you and show grace. Be grateful; it’s all your perception. 🧐
