The Highest standard ( Archived) (3)

Hey everyone. Still working on trying not to make myself invisible, even though I've only been registered a few days... but still, a curious mind works in different ways.

I wasn't sure where to put this, but I imagined that here was the perfect place to talk about it, or point it out to some, or even just to let others know what you think. And the topic on my mind at the moment is the highest standard you set.

Anyways, here's the question: What's your biggest standard when you're looking for friends or even a loved one? You know, the one that absolutely cannot be changed no matter what anyone says. Sure, you have the things you're looking for, and there may be more than one, but I'm more concerned about the one standard that you may as well be holding a big, flashing neon sign for, trying to say to others around you that you won't be a part of it. You may even go as far to pardon a little of it if they're trying to change for it, but only so much.

While we're thinking about it, here's mine: misuse of language. I absolutely loathe the common use of words that should not even be in everyday lives. I don't even need to repeat them... I know very well -everybody- knows what 4 letter words I speak of. On a laughing matter, no, I don't mean the word 'kiss,' either.

they have to be honest with themselves and with me ...
