I’m sure I’m not alone in knowing people who believe speaking to authority is taboo. Of course, it is taboo in environments operating on submission rather than cooperation. I could be alluding to families, churches, companies, and entire countries.

We may have been taught that staying silent is our role in “keeping the peace”. I know that malicious people take this and eat it like cake. Realizing we are wearing rose colored glasses is okay even if uncomfortable at first. It can mean admitting that people (even very close to us) are as horrible as they act.

People can be as awful as they seem and they can be far worse than they seem. The illusion of the way things seem only works on people who take themselves and others at face value. I find that people don’t like to speak up about a problem if they in some way benefit from it. They go along with things (despite knowing better). I would bet that a lot of us know people who put on masks depending on their audience.

I have experienced and seen more evil from people who seemed to be nice and have it all together than from people who are obviously down in life. Abusive people spend a lot of time and energy trying to control…especially the opinions/perceptions of others. They act like life is a game and people are pawns.

Collapse is inevitable for the grifter, even if it doesn’t mean they really experience it until their last breath. It must be awful to approach death with that much fear and regret.

Anyone or any culture that demeans people for saving themselves is undeveloped and horribly off-balance. Punishment for being whole is not what whole people do. Evil people take and justify damaging human life. They proudly wear their mask and pretend it didn’t happen. However, it is interesting that they begin to collapse without feeding off of at least one person. They act strong and independent yet their sense of self is completely dependent and they are totally empty. Their deep fear and neglect of themselves has turned them into a roaring black hole, that if left completely alone would collapse without the drama they create and feed on.

Evil people don’t give a fuck about human life, and my argument is we should at least match that with not giving a fuck about them and anyone who pretends they are not harming others. We should speak up. Talking about the harm people are inflicting is not a shameful act. Pretending it’s not happening is a shameful act. You don’t have to believed for it to be true.

You are not an object to be used. You are a person. Some people really are just that degraded that it is not a matter of belief for them. They live like people are a means to an end.

Anything left behind because of this treatment is not a loss. Wanting to believe people aren’t as bad as they act might seem noble (coming from a caring nature), but it’s dangerous when all of their evidence proves otherwise and we are the one paying their cost.

It’s okay to walk away before they take everything from you. It may feel too late, but it can get worse or it can get better. Evil people will take everything and wish you not do well without them…because your wellness triggers their inner-instability. They would find pleasure in your struggle because it validates their sense of superiority. They can despise you while being obsessed with you. Watching you act in independence and personal power diminishes their sense of control over you, and they hate that they don’t know how to experience this themself.

I say too fucking bad.
