Fussing in the name of Fairness

L084050annwig016“Fusspot Annie” – I still remember the sting of being called a Fusspot Annie in my childhood. It is such a demeaning, nasty put-down. I suppose I liked things to be “just so” … and still do.

Drama Queen is another moniker levelled at folks who are seen to make a fuss.

Derogatory terms for people who, perhaps, seem ‘difficult’.

Okay so we all know too much drama isn’t helpful. It can cloud the real issues and ramp up the blood pressure and possibly annoy other people so much that it creates the polar opposite of what we are trying to achieve.

So far, so in alignment with the fuss about being a fusspot.

But hang on … isn’t there another perspective? Isn’t there always?

What if, instead of jumping to a conclusion that a fusspot is simply an attention grabbing narcissistic drama queen (not being gender specific here by the way) … and we see the fusspot as pioneer, as a pioneering leader standing up for people’s rights? As champion for changing what is wrong?

True, it may not always be the case – and sometimes a fusspot is simply a fusspot and a pain in the proverbial butt. And I believe it’s well worth noting that sometimes a fuss truly needs to be made.

And the “fusspot” instead of being derided ought to be championed. Deserves to be heralded as pioneer, leader, standard bearer of what’s fair and what’s right. And in that vein I salute the fusspot with all my heart and with all my might.

Cheers!
