bad words

Often lately I have been asking myself, 'What drives people to make the decisions they do?'

 

There are things I just don't understand, and in many ways i really don't want to understand. Why does one person find it necessary to talk badly about another? Why would they misrepresent facts, even if they did so mistakingly? I don't understand these concepts. Granted I'm no angel, I'll be the first to freely admit that. However, I subscribe to that whole blasie 'live and let live' mumbo jumbo. You know the creed thats right there next to 'If you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all,'.

 

Don't read that wrong, I'll bitch when I think something is wrong, or I think someone is doing something stupid as well.

 

I've been biting my tongue allot lately. I'd like to know why a few people made the choices they made. the only answer that can satisfy that curiosity and my sincere hope not to think less of these people is; They accepted single-sided council. They listened to only one side of the story. I sincerely hope that is the answer, because they are damn good people, not to mention damn fine writers.

 

I miss them.

 

I'm tired of being disappointed, yet somewhere I know it is the only possible outcome now. They listened to their council, made their decisions. I waited for proof of character and made mine.

 

This proof, for me, came in a number of ways, and it was far too common to be mistaken for anything other then a significant signpost of character. when you hear an outstanding theme running through several opinions, well, it kinda shows you something. maybe their council's words carried more weight then the mounds of proof through past, and recent, actions. Yet, I fear the words that are being used to pollute their minds. Perhaps these aren't things I should be worrying about, but I hate to see other people being, being manhandled and used as pawns in something they had no involvement in.

 

That, however, is how the world works. One vicious unending cycle of misrepresentation and out right lies. I just hope the people I respect, the people I admire will wake up and open their eyes to the words they have listened to.

Disappointment is one of the worst emotions to have, Steve. People make their choices. If there are conquences to their actions, it's on them and not you. I'm pretty sure I know what you're talking about. While I know how people can see the world in their own way, I still find myself thinking that some people just don't get it. As much as I hate cliches, I'll mention one anyway. You can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make him drink. People don't always make good choices. I also realize that I've only heard one side of the story and that my perspective might be different if I hear the other side, but I still believe I have a good idea about why things happened the way they did. Anway, I think you need a :hug:

Steve,

 

 

It is far too true that people often make the wrong choices in life and it destroys them. I've seen people meet up with new folks that are into drugs. Next thing you know they're smoking or injecting crank into their bodies and believe that their friends like them for more than sex and the money/drugs they can bring into the situation. People they have been friends/family with will tell them they're going down the wrong road, and yet they will close their eyes, plug their ears and shout at their loved ones how wrong they are, that they don't understand.

 

It's sad, really.

 

The example I used refers to drugs because of my own experiences. It can be a multitude of things. What you can do is simple. Continue loving them. Don't enable their behavior, but let them know if they change their mind about things, you're there for them. When the time comes, welcome them back with open arms and be ready to help them recover from their mistakes. That is the best way to handle these things.
