dire times of being an honest asshole.

you're going to be passively aggressive to me till time untold, and this has already put a scar on my marriage, but i accept that as a result of my telling you the harsh truth, which is much more noble than supporting a lie or misnomer, and missleading someone that may indeed count on the input of their friends and relatives. i chose this noble act ( Read more... )

turth, or truth not, there is no try. drrockalopoulos January 17 2005, 07:30:23 UTC
there are no sides.

there is truth
and there is deception.

i fully understand the secretive ways of my brother, i do not aprove of them, for they have only brought him trouble. family and good firends, there shuold be no secrets. they make decisions that influence, or are influenced by their family and friends, and i wuold not want my friends or family to make a decision based on false or nonexistent information provided by me. it is a very selfish and uncouth thing to do. what is so bad he has to hide his entire life from his family anyway? what are they going to do? at worst yell a bit? he tortures his family with a questionable future that could have been avoided with better planning and communication. i am very proud of him for sticking to and owning up to his decisions. i wish he wasn't so petty that he needs solely commendations from his friends and family. if there was no communication, we would all have to learn from our own mistakes, which would undermine the benefits of humanity and learning from the mistakes of others.

There may be "no sides" from your perspective, but there can be compassion and understanding. You know your brother is secretive. Is Jaime supposed to ignore the feelings of her husband and the father of her child in favor of relaying information that he doesn't want relayed to his parents? Choosing your in-laws over your husband is a good way to find yourself without one, ne? Try to understand the position she is in and temper your judgement. Truth is good but there also needs to be compassion and awareness.

i understand him. i also understand where houki is coming from.

i wish they both would accept and heed criticism and would understand what i mean and why it is fundamentally a healthier and more effective way of living. as it is now, they are not fully taking advantage of their environment and they could be richer. not just monetarily, but in spirit and wisdom. which, i think is worth more. nobody can take that away from you after you have it. i really do care, and this makes me more critical and try harder, even after prior rejection from them.

ah, but a person who has a warped sense of reality(like your sister and judy) is decieving themselves! garbage in, garbage out. if they filter the input with their own deception(or filtered by mass media to ge the stupid americans) actions and reactions will be calculated with this false data. this is really more and more apparent as society gets less and less human, and more machine and effeciency driven. my younger brother is realizing that his perception, and accordingly innapropriate actions on his relationship with his parents was based largely on ficticious events and information, and self actualizing ( ... )
