Because I told you so

Because I told you so or because I’m the boss or because I’m bigger than you no longer works as a viable option to telling other people why they should do things that you want them to do.  This is true not only in relationships, but also in the realm of spirituality.

“Why is that kind of music bad for me?”  “Because it is!”

“Why can’t I make this decision that I think is best for my family?”  “Because you would be wrong.”  “Why?”  “Because.”

“Why should I go to church?”  “Because God wants you to, stupid!”

“Why should I give my money to a christian organization?”  “Because the Bible says it somewhere.”

“Why is this the right way?”  “Because we’ve always done it this way.”

That used to be the way, but no longer.  Now that will get you blacklisted from your relationships and exiled from getting any respect, but hey, you keep trying to force your opinion on others based on the fact that you’re the loudest or you’re the boss and see where that gets you.

And when you’re no longer the boss, and everyone ignores you, please remember this post.
