I've probably been spit on more that any person alive outside of, I would say, a member of the prison system.

About This Quote

Spitting is an action that most people find repulsive. It's difficult to even think about, let alone do. Most people have a hard time believing that just because one person spits on another that it can actually be said to be rude or hurtful. But, if you look at the world around you, it is clear that this action has become a way of disrespecting others.

People spit on people who are homeless or in need of help. They spit on them when they are sick or have lost loved ones. They spit on them when they are in their homes and don't like what is happening in that home (like when one person has moved into their home and the other person doesn't want them there).

They spit on them when they are in public and think they can get away with it (like when one person tells another person to "get off the street"). They may even spit on someone they love (like when one child whines to another child about not getting their way). They spit on people who are friends with them (like when one person thinks another person is too small for their company).

And, no matter how much they try, no matter how hard they try, no matter how often they try, no matter where they go or what they do, this action will always remain with them forever.
