Hypocracy
I woke up today wondering why there is so much hypocracy in the world, from top government officials, ceo's of companies, professionals, doctor's, lawyer's, and down the line to friends and family and even the local dry cleaner! I'm fed up with it. We have to listen, dissect, probe, analyze every word to get at the truth and sometimes you don't get it. It's so rare to find someone who is "what you see is what you get" type of person. I'd rather be around someone who is an open book and accept or reject their flaws and failings than to listen to the hype and bravado and frankly........lies.
Although I have some very good friends that I love and adore I also have some who I'm considering removing from my life. It's a constant battle trying to find out what is truth and what is fiction with some people. I'm not talking about blogs or websites where people can be who they want to be or express ideas, feelings and values that they might not do in real life, I'm talking about people who have an impact on your life, either directly or indirectly.
The latest craze on tv are the reality shows and many people will say it's all garbage but I look at it differently. It's actually given me some insight into people in general and how they view themselves. I don't watch on a regular basis but I'll tune in once in a while when I have nothing else constructive to do. In some of these reality shows people portray themselves as honest, caring, compassionate etc but if you watch you see that they are quite the opposite. People can't be who they are not for very long, eventually their true character comes out and these shows give you a front row seat into other peoples psyche's.
When I look at my own life and how I live it I'm aware of my own failings, trying to improve myself and how I deal with people. I will tolerate a lot before I say.........enough enough.
This is where I am now, evaluating the people who surround me and are involved in my life. Nothing I can do about changing the world but I can change the world around me.
I'd like to be able to have a few drinks with my friends without one of them becoming belligerant and angry after too many. I'd like to be able to share a confidence with a friend without her blabbing about it to all her friends behind my back. I'd like to be able to write an e-mail without someone looking over my shoulder trying to read what I'm either reading or writing. I'd like to wear what I want without criticizm. These are just some things among many that irritate me. I could go on and on but if your reading this I'm sure you know people like that yourself. It's stressful just to be around them. A few good friends is all I'd really like to have. I have been lucky to find some and now I have the difficult task of ending a few so-called friendships. I'm sure I'll be asked why and I'll try to be as honest as I can without hurting some feelings. Even hypocrites have feelings!
Some of my friends say I talk too much and they are probably right, I'm here aren't I, telling complete strangers things that are going on in my life. I'm sure that anyone who reads my blog may have a negative opinion of me, well if that's the case, I would like to hear that too. I'm not on a self-help crusade, I'm just seeking a simple life without the kind of drama that hurts people.
I feel as if I got a bit of that off my chest by just simply writing this. Ranting does help at times.
Ciao
