Could things get any more ridiculous?

Some people.  I tell ya.  It's a constant battle from one extreme to another.  The lies people tell, the actions of others that people put up with, the people that you call "friend" that prove you wrong.  It's all a part of life.  But sometimes in life, these things get a little out of hand.  

It's amazing to me the lies a person will tell to make themselves look good.  What's even worse is when they start actually believing their lies to be nothing else other than the truth.  You may not like some of the things that happened in your past that continue to affect your present, but why hide it?  You did it.  Own it.  Be an adult and be honest with yourself and others.  Eventually, you will have told so many lies that you will begin to forget them.  And that's when you get caught.  One of my number one rules to follow is Karma: What goes around, comes around.  Karma comes back to bite you in the ass when you least expect it.  But there's also good Karma too.  Unfortunately for certain people that this paragraph pertains to, you do not have any good Karma.  You never will.  Your lies have ruined and are ruining people's lives.  It's not funny or cute.  Lying and being dishonest only makes you look bad and shows what kind of person you are.  

Then you have people out there cheating, using and abusing their privileges, and quite frankly, acting like idiots.  What is the point in using someone just so you don't have to work or take care of your responsibilities?  You decided to have children, you should help support them.  Not leave it up to someone else to do.  Then decide when the going gets tough, to leave and find someone else to prey upon.  Grow up.  Get a life.  Get a job.  And quit using people.

This brings me to the true meaning of "Friendship".  What is the true meaning?  Well, my definition goes a little something like this; a person that will stand by your side in any situation, will listen when you need to be heard, will lend you their shoulder when you need to cry, will never judge you or lie to you, will be there to lend a helping hand even when you didn't ask for one, will love you unconditionally.  Seems true friends are extremely hard to find these days.  Then I come to my next subject, "Convenient Friends".  These are those that want you to listen to them but never want to hear what you have to say, those that need your help but run when you need theirs, those that only call when they're bored, or need someone to go out with.  I don't like these people.  Once I find out that a person is on my friend at their convenience, I say "toodaloo".  I don't want nor need these people in my life.  I have had some awesome friends in my life that have been there for me through everything.  And I've been there when they've needed it.  

In conclusion, people are human and humans are full of flaws.  None of us are perfect by any means, but at least we can try to be decent.
