When something is wrong, when something is just insanely, disturbingly wrong, why is it so much easier for some people to pretend it isn’t happening? How can so many people take comfort in soothing lies they tell themselves, all the while letting the craziness go on and on and on?
Does brushing something under the rug and lying about it make it not wrong? Of course not. I refuse to do that. I’m not a coward. I can point to something and call it exactly as I see it, even when I am being shouted down in an obnoxious attempt to silence the truth.
The only people afraid of the truth are people with something to hide. I don’t have anything to hide. I don’t lie, use people, or manipulate others, because I don’t need to or want to. Simple as that.
I have no patience for liars, cowards, or drama queens. Unfortunately, I am forced to deal with them on a regular basis. I can easily brush off their petty childishness until it is aimed at the kids. Lying to or using kids will never be okay with me. It shouldn’t be okay with anyone.
If that bothers someone, if that rubs someone the wrong way, then the problem is obviously them. No sane person would have an issue with not wanting kids to be used as targets, pawns, or objects.
No sane person would live a lie, day after day, to cover up their deceit, hypocricy and dysfunction. No sane person would defend that person’s choice to do so.
Not everyone cares about truth or what is right or wrong. Some people are sniveling, weak, worthless punks cowering behind flimsy lies, bolstered by mindless, witless imbeciles with their cavernous mouths gaping wide open, waiting to be spoon-fed what to think, say, or do next. Pathetic.
You do not need to lie, over and over, when you have nothing to hide. You also do not get irrationally angry over someone speaking the truth unless you desperately don’t want the truth to be revealed. And if you are truly a good person, you do not need to hide behind a mask, manipulate others into lying for you, and hope against hope that no one discovers the real you…all because you already know how contemptible the real you is.
