Yes, there are definitely people out there that irritate me. I think that if we had traits that were similar, we would all get along with one another. However, I am thankful that is not the case. If we were all alike, life would get rather dull. The people that come along to irritate or challenge us, believe it or not, help us to grow. They teach us the traits we don't wish to exhibit in our own lives.
Maturity comes with experience, not necessarily age. The hills and mountains that we climb have consequences and our actions speak louder than words. Are we kind when we'd rather not be? Are we helpful when we have other things that need to get done? Do we turn the other cheek when we'd rather turn our back? These are the types of responses that maturity brings.
Being nice to someone doesn't mean they've earned your respect, it just shows that you can rise above the irritation and optimistically endure the situation put before you. You've learned something positive from your experiences and put your best foot forward. I'm sure that someone, somewhere along the way has done the same for you.
