Duke Ellington 4-EVR!
*cough* ahem.
Fake people suck. I dislike being lied to. I dislike having someone smile to my face, then cut me down the moment I avert my eyes. That still hurts...blood is still spilled...even if I don't see it. Gossip isn't cool - no matter who you are. No matter what it's about. I know I'm guilty of it myself, I'm human after all. That doesn't mean I like it. I catch myself mid-gossip and think "Ah crap. Now I'm hypocritical. How fun." <-- *scathed in sarcasm* Why does talking crap about a person make us feel so much better about ourselves? I don't get it. Saying horrible things about a person should make us feel remorse, not pride. If that person heard the things being said about them would it be as fun anymore? Seeing the pain on his/her face intensify with every word is totally worth it, right? Yeah... I thought so. So what makes saying those same harsh words better when the person isn't there to defend his/herself? Why is it less derogatory? I don't get it. I also don't feel as if I'm the leader of the "anti-gossip" campaigns, so don't think I'm trying to convict anyone with this post. It's simply a topic that's come up a lot today and I felt the urge to lay out my thoughts. I'm no better than anyone else.... maybe I should try to be?
Wheat Thins are great. I heart them. Buy me a box of the Harvest Crisps Five-Grain kind and I'll love you forever. It's that simple! Have a great night.
