Why don't we like everyone?

We don't like someone because they aren't the person that WE want them to be. Think about that for a second... We cannot control who they are. And when they aren't' the person we want them to be, we call them all these names like jerk, idiot, etc...

In reality we have to allow people to be who they choose to be. Once we allow them to be who they choose to be (not who we want them to be) then we can start to make a change. Otherwise we will just spend our lives hoping they were someone else. And when they are not then we hate them.

Remember people choose to act a certain way (people usually say, "well this is just who I am"). We are not dogs. If someone bites us we don't have to bite them back. We can choose our responses, then we can inspire them to make different choices by our own actions.
