and I hate 'um. Sometimes it seems as if no one has a fucking spine anymore. People can't deal with something they deem as 'conflict' even when it's the right thing to do. Take dating for instance. I believe if you date someone even 1 date and then decide to drop them , you OWE it to the person to tell them exactly and explicitly why. Even if that truth is not so pretty. Same applies to friendships. How else might they better themselves? Maybe you fucked up and didn't realize it, maybe you might learn something from that exchange. Am I alone here? Are many people just fucking punks when it comes to true honesty? THIS IS NOT 'Us and them' IT'S ALL US. Can't you see that? We're in this bitch together so fucking act like it. Some people make me sick
Yeah, it can be disturbing sometimes that it seems only a small minority of the people takes the effort to deal with things the hard way. You're not alone, I see where your coming from but I don't think it makes them fake. It makes them even more real in my opinion.
@Asmodean. Hah, yea real cowards @hotwater Not if compassion and understanding on both sides were involved. I know some people are kind of psycho and cannot be reasoned with but for the most part I have more faith in people than that.
I can't remember who originally said it, but I'll quote it anyway: "Some people are tactful; others tell the truth"
Compassion... Someone acting "fake" is an effective admission that their self image is suffering- that projecting who they really are isn't good enough. Hatred is a cancer of the soul and it's only hurting you. Allowing the conduct of another to anger you and bring feelings of hatred to the surface may or may not affect them but is guaranteed to affect you. Finding it within yourself to feel compassion that they have such a low self image that they feel the need to project something that they aren't may make a difference in their day-- and it certainly won't hurt yours. Anger and hatred at the actions of others that you have no hope of controlling is not the way to find happiness. Let them be fake.
I agree,stink. To get all het up about what others do is to be a puppet. A reactionary. It's a useless endeaver to concern oneself with the conduct of others(unless they've pulled a gun on you). I never see people being fake with me. It's just not easy to do.
okay... i hate this post explicitly because if you really didn't care what people think you'd have no reason to whine about it :mickey:
