You're so full of shit but you're all mine...and so the rant has a part deux!!!
Back in the days of marriage, you carried each other and the children God graced you with. Advice was free and plentiful because where there was love, there were no boundaries and in fact, if you didnt point out an error, I would think you just didn't give a shit. This was how we grew into each other. This was how we "learned" each other. I was able to see where you found me deficient and as is expected in all relationships, you saw the same. This is how any relationship is built...on honesty and respect of that honesty. Something that sadly is now long gone.
These days, truth tellers are unnecessary nuisances. Relics of a time long past. Before the days of Facebook and MySpace. The areas of Cyberspace filled with sycophants whose only motivation at the end of the day is some sort of personal conquest but hey, they think you are great. Shit they say so everyday so it must be true lol I'm gonna speak the truth here people. Relationships fail today because this "me" society is teaching us in error. Instead of truth, we push fluff. Instead of brutal honesty that can save your life, I need to watch how I don't offend. In the process, we rob each other of the knowledge of who we really are and thus any hope of anything worth anything meaningful.
But hey, you're golden. Why? Because so and so said so after he or she saw your picture lol What happens when and if they ever really get close enough see ALL your bullshit? Will they still think you are great then? Sure, they just need to meet-up over a couple of drinks to be sure. These are the ones that create this press for you. These stories about how great you are and about how your shit don't stink. They know that like any good piece of fiction...you'll be mesmerized too. They'll make you laugh and cry. They will make you feel like the greatest man that ever walked the face of the earth and like the most beautiful woman they have ever seen or will see. All press created for an end result.
Yet ask yourself this question; what's worse? Those that try to delude or those that accept such delusion as gospel? Some don't mind that all this is bullshit because they can always feign naivety for the sake of some "feel-good" therapy and others may even believe them. Me? I see people that lie to themselves worse than those that lie to others. Why? Because that's one more person they are being dishonest to on a daily basis...
When the ride gets to be too much, I just get off. I am the type to get sick of my own image. Will I not grow even more tired of your bullshit? I see humanity at his best and worst. I see the great selflessness of love and the debilitating want within "self" and "ego". Unfortunately, only a handful are left that do. Anyway...
