"That's not my business."
It's strange how rarely I hear that admission from people. People will go on and on about someone else's business or drama and demand to know what I think about it. But all I'm doing is thinking that it's not my business.
If it directly affects me, or if someone asks my opinion on their business, I will accept that it might be my business. So often the topic of discussion doesn't rise to that level. It's just gossip or someone looking for reasons to be offended.
If they want reasons to be offended, give them one. The fastest way to offend someone who is trying to get you involved in other people's business is to say "It's not my business".
Your drama isn't my business. Your sex life or relationships aren't my business. What you wear, what you ingest, what you worship-- none of those things are my business. Unless you impose them on me or others.
Several years ago, someone angry over one of my newspaper columns asked how I could think it's my business to write about liberty-- to get in other people business in that way. At least they had the decency to back off when I said: "Because it is literally my business-- it's what I am paid to do".
Yes, liberty is my business. Whether you accept or respect it is yours... as long as you don't try to violate someone in my presence.

reminds me of this meme I saw recently... 😭 😭
I think it is the nature of anarchists to not want to be control freaks and stick their noses in other people's business. If only there were more of them.

But the other two group NEED you to stay on board. Else there is no one to parasite off of.
So, to many of these control freaks, it is a life or death situation.

When I was a kid, we used to say "mind your own beeswax!", which meant "mind your own business", and I have no idea why we said it that way. It still applies. By the way, I love the photo of the cat with its nose in a vase, or is it a bottle? I'm still trying to decide how the photo relates to the article. Perhaps it's because the cat is sticking its nose where it doesn't belong.

The cat is named Sunny. She was sticking her head into a vase-- where it doesn't belong (although, I admit I put a treat inside it to get her to do so, and I gave it to her after I took the photo). You win a virtual Kewpie doll for understanding the obscurely related photo. LOL.
I frequently use photos that you'd have to think about to figure out why (or if) they relate to the post. And you got it!
