We humans are built differently, our ability to endure somethings is attributed to our upbringing, the sole bedrock of our personality formation. probably it has something to with our beliefs, religious activities and teachings. there are sometimes we chose to leave some attitude behind as we grow older due to maturity. this is were it becomes tricky regardless of how good a person is in controling his/her emotions, once in awhile when we are under pressure or exposed to some irritating situation our real self surfaces. it is a natural defence mechanism to prevent others from hurting our self esteem or self worth.
For someone like me, I consider myself to be a pacifist. anything that has to do with violence I try as much as possible to stay from it, I do lash out once in awhile but I strongly believe that violence makes things worst. there are lot of unfortunate circumstances humans could have avoided if they had chosen diplomacy over war, though some wars can't be avoided but is there really a win when it comes to war without both sides sustaining bloody injuries.
despite my peaceful nature, there are some habit I'm incapable of tolerating or should I say, I stay away from people that I notice this habit in that behaviour, it is not that I hate such people but I just refuse to have any form of association with them.
This habits includes:
-
1) Injustice/unfairness: There is a part of me that stays dormant till it is provoked and one of the things that could provoke that part of me is injustice. it is something that provokes me and makes me abruptly proactive. it is one of the reasons that evoked my interest in journalism, I felt I might not be able to fight battles with weapons but I will be capable of winning battles with something mightier that weapons which is words. My inability to tolerate injustice is something I can't really phantom, it just like a natural drive in me that calls me into action. in most cases I have gotten into trouble because of this😂, I find myself speaking up for others despite me being aware of the consequences.

2)Hypocrisy: it can be best understood as a form of character that involves the act of pretence, claiming to be who you are not. it is the habit of criticising others for a particular attitude whereas such person is also engaging in the same actions he/she is condemning others for. this attitude is a trend this days. especially in the religious entities, where you see people who portray themselves as holy but at the long run they are involved in all sort of atrocities. what about the political sector, our so called public figures and opinion leaders, if you dig deep into their behind the scenes actions you will be shocked. anyone portraying this attitude can never be an honest individual, they lie and manipulate their way out of any issues even if it involves throwing others under the bench. What they say and do contradicts each other, associating with an hypocrite will surely put you in harms way.

3) Greed & selfishness: We all know what this means and how much damage it has caused to the human society. every human is greedy because we all have personal desires but it the responsibility of each one of us to ensure this natural greed of ours is controlled, preventing it from causing harm to others. one of the reasons behind the continuous plague of corruption is greed. the moment I notice this attitude from anyone, I instantly stay from such a person. A greedy person has no conscience and to an extent they are capable of endangering anyone to achieve their self desires.

4) Ignorance: I wrote a post about this recently as a result of an article of an incident I read online. it is quite evident that some of the pain and suffering Inflicted on humans are as a result of Ignorance. the most annoying part is that those who end up suffering from the devastating consequences of an individual ignorance might not have anything to do with, becoming victims of another person's act of stupidity. knowing how much this could cause I don't tolerate it at all or be around an ignorant person especially those who don't reason to logical explanation.
-
5) Snoring: I know what you must be thinking but the fact is I'm very sensitive to sound which means any form of noise could disturb my sleep. during my boarding school days one of the things I look out for before picking my permanent bunk mate is to observe if the person snores because if you ask people they might be upset about the question and most times, most people are not even aware of the fact that they are snoring. it is something that happens while they are unconscious of their body activities. knowing how much I detest this habit, I don't bother arguing with people I just move to another room and find another bunk mate.
😂
These are the few habit and ill attitude I'm aware of that are capable of pissing me off at any moment and though I have a very friendly personality but my display of anger is like an atomic bomb😂😅
