in the wrong
i find two groups of related people disheartening and at times even disturbing. the first group is people who are absolutely at rock bottom and are outwardly playing it off as though they are enjoying it. i cant for one minute believe that any person would like being at the places in life that i have witnessed lately and say with a straight face and clear conscience that they're really getting a kick out of it. i see this once in a while on livejournal and i just cant fathom it. in my opinion it is against human nature to revel in the depths ! but still i see time and time again, men and women alike journaling away about the (almost) pleasure that their train-wreck of a life brings them. i know im being vague here..
the second group of people are those that tune in attentively to watch all of this unfold. the writter who is suicidal and has 500 onlookers just drooling over their keyboards watching them mess up over and over, commenting and cheering them on. if one nay sayer shows up and says "listen i think you need some help, that you've got real problems and im concerned" the group lashes out and somehow THAT person becomes in the wrong. i know it is in all of us to be twisted at times, to somehow in a tiny part of us, enjoy the spectacle of people's lives unfold horribly but it still hurts me that so many people continue to give into that feeling and perpetuate another persons pain.
im unsure of which i am more disturbed by. possibly the second?
are you doing your best to be a peacekeeper/peacemaker
