Has anyone ever wondered why some people seem to get off just by hurting others? You know the people I'm talking about don't you? The people pleasers. The heroes that never were. The ones that take credit for a job they never did or they say the right words but never respond with actions. They ones that speak a big game, yet they never played or they played only to reap the benefits. I can honestly say that I don't understand the mentality of these types of people or why even when caught, they continue to lie, or to cheat, or steal? How can they wake up every morning with a smile on their face? How do they maintain any sense of sanity while living what has to be an awful existence? HOW?
I know that believing that everyone should be sincere and kind every day of their lives is not realistic. Maybe my thinking is a distorted picture of what life and/or people are really about. Maybe I am too open and too honest for my own good. Maybe the world I live in is make-believe. But I would rather be open and honest, have sincere laughter when laughing at a joke, shake the hand of a stranger and truly mean the words "happy to meet you" and wake up with a smile on my face, than make others believe something that is not. I'm hoping that no matter how long I am on this planet, that I never have to know what intentionally hurting people feels like.
From my own personal perspective, it is really nice to know that when I make a promise, it is considered as good as gold by everyone that knows me. It is an awful good feeling to be trusted and loved by others. Maybe I just love falling asleep at night feeling content about my daily experiences and knowing that tomorrow will be just as wonderful.
No matter how many times I witness another individual intentionally hurting someone, I will continue to believe that most people are true, sincere, honest and genuine. I will be damned if I will allow any ugliness created by others to cloud my beautiful world. Make-Believe or not, I just won't. Maybe I like looking at life through rose colored glasses.
Thanks for reading my bitch fest.
