I am a total drama queen. I am aware of this about myself. But I really do my best to never hurt someone with something I say. I love to write and I have seen the effect that words can have on the world. They are powerful. What you say and how you say it can make or break a friendship, a romance, or a strangers day.
So why oh why would someone lie? Why would someone be so jealous, unhappy, and vindictive that they would treat someone they love with hatred or disrespect either directly or indirectly? How jaded, selfish, and unkind must a person be to lie about the actions of one person in order to obtain a desired outcome?
Oh. But I suppose I shouldn't ask why. I should ask what. What should I do about people that are so mind boggling-ly, outrageously selfish that I want to beat my head against the wall just for a moment's respite? Nothing. Absolutely nothing except to acknowledge the fact that some people will never see that the world does not revolve around them. Will never see that it hurts people to be lied about. That it hurts people when they create unnecessary and unscrupulous drama. And if your entertainment comes from hurting someone else you are not being a good person.
Life should rarely be about doing what makes you happy. Life is about doing what is right even if it doesn't make you particularly "happy" at the time. Happiness is a mostly elusive emotion. Real happiness comes from having a joyful spirit no matter the circumstance.
Have a blessed day!
