double standards

one of my biggest pet peeves in the ENTIRE world is when people have double standards. partially because i was raised in an environment where having two sets of standards was frowned upon. my sister and i had to obey the same rules, and if they were broken, we had equal punishments.

i do understand that different times, under certain circumstances, may call for different reactions or different responses to whatever may have happened. however, i do not understand the constant need to change things up with every person. i have noticed this around campus more then i ever have anywhere else. granted, not all of it pertains to me, but i have seen what some of the effects of these reactions have on people. it's not okay, and quite frankly, people don't deserve to be treated like that.

not only have i seen people have different standards amongst their friends, but they also have different standards for themselves. it's okay for them to tweet 300 times a day, but when their friends do it, they unfollow whoever it is that is tweeting obnoxious amounts. really? something that stupid? i just don't understand the incessant need to cause problems. even though i will probably cause some by writing this.

play nice. get along with people. if it bothers you, ignore it. don't change up the game just because you can. that's not fair to everyone else around, and they will never live up to your standards if you keep changing them every time they do something you don't like. no one is perfect.
