HONESTY ? … YES…. WHY NOT ?
Most of us like to have some fun and games with little white lies and put on’s in a good natured fun loving way. A little sarcasm, a little spoof, just for fun. I’m certainly no exception to this… never miss an opportunity to perpetrate a little rouse in good fun… get a laugh and a smile.
What really has bothered me all my life is the people that for some reason seem to always be scheming to weave a web of lies and deceit, or just plainly spreading discontentment, for either their own personal gain or just to be malicious. Perhaps it’s just so they can elevate ( in their minds ) themselves from their miserable existence. Make others look bad so they look better. The odd thing is… some of these people are in a positions of management because they keep pushing others down to elevate themselves… and worse yet, the upper management that promoted them doesn’t see it. I was going to ask… Does any body really fall for or believe that they are better because they belittle others… but I guess some do fall for it, or maybe even base their own behavior on this, so it’s acceptable to them too.
I for one don’t get it. I generally trust everyone until they prove themselves different… than have nothing to do with them…. usually never again. Some may get a second chance, but it has to be well earned, and usually with guarded optimism.
We all will generally spare someone’s feelings by not being honest about something that would unnecessarily make them feel bad or hurt their feelings… and that’s different. But why do some people act all friendly and smiling to your face, make you feel everything is okay, and malign you to others. Why do people have to be malicious behind your back… and than smile to your face the next time you meet.
Some people like to always feel that they’re always right or better, and always look for the opportunity to make others feel at fault or unjustifiably take the blame for something.. belittling them openly, and usually constantly using them as a whipping post. When they come across the wrong person that won’t accept their abusive nature, and someone stands up to them, they escalate the matter even a higher level of being malicious in an effort to further justify their bad behavior. Just not acceptable!
I’m sure physiology has a term for term for this type of behavior as well as the reasons for why they are the way they are. But it’s unclear to me. If I have to figure out a person from the point of not trusting them… I really don’t want anything to do with them.
Thank goodness that I don’t run into too many people like this. One or two a year is more then enough.
As for the majority of us… just beware that they are out there… leave them to themselves… in their lonely desperate lives. They deserve to reap what they sow.
Don’t think to hard on this… this doesn’t apply to any of our friends ( otherwise I would not call you friends). Just that every once in a while you run into people like this. Just a shame they don’t realize who they are. So why write this… therapy! … just to get it off my chest and out of mind!
I think there’s a new years resolution in here somewhere… but probably NOT where it’s needed the most.
