Being Bardi

[bardiphouka]

Part of being bardi lies in being polite as much as possible. Yes I know, I can be sarcastic, but generally only to people who would understand there was no true invective behind it. Not counting politicians. And people who want to ride Jesus Horses.

One of the things that makes it easy to be polite is the knowledge that anything I said would most likely be ignored anyway. But there are still times I am tempted, such as when friends of mine are insulted, directly or indirectly. Still, I grit my teeth, remember the source and the fact that they have no idea what has happened anyway. Nor do they need to.

Still, sometimes being bardi is not all that easy.

That is one of the toughest moments of deciding whether to speak or not.

The source in question would likely not know if you were being impolite to them or not, even if you took a poker and rammed the impoliteness up its ass.

I could think of better things to quietly boil away at...
