How is it that even when faced with proof, people will protect and defend a person who isn't nice? Why is it that they don't believe when told that this person did and said things to hurt someone related to them? Have you ever thought there is a good reason this person is nice to you, but then not so nice to someone else? Why say it's a lie just because you haven't experienced it? Is racism not real just because it doesn't happen to everyone? Is domestic violence not real when outside, the perpetrator is as nice as can be to others, but behind closed doors is sadistic and evil towards their own partner? Maybe it's simply that they find it easier to stick by the opinion held by most people around them, and dare not go against it by saying, well maybe this person isn't nice..... In my opinion life is too short to stick around and stick up for horrible people. They don't deserve to be protected. We should be looking after those who need it most, watching out for them.
To those reading this, I assure you that you would not be protecting this person if you knew their past. A past that is worse than mine. All I do is live my life. Long term partner, job, flat, cat. No drinking, smoking, taking drugs or promiscuity. But I guess that matters not a jot to you. Its easier to believe that I am the bad one, so much easier, because the majority also hold this opinion. To those who stick by the bad people, consider yourselves out of my life. You're not allowed to know what is going on, if I have children, you can't meet them, you're out for good. And that's what happens when you decide to stick by a bad person. Off you trot, I know you are reading this. Why do you even come here to read it if you don't like me? Guess I'll never find out.
Hi, I stumbled across this blog looking for another beingfaerie blogger. I don't understand the context of this piece? I looked at your other blog posts too and have seen you come from a muslim background. If so I don't understand the part in this piece where you call the person you're talking about a bad person. Yeah promiscuity, drugs, smoking and drinking aren't great and from the knowledge I have of Islam from friends not allowed in the religion but I do know that if someone asks for forgiveness and stops doing those things then they are forgiven. Surely if that's ok with God you as a human being can't hold that against someone? So then really engaging in those acts doesn't make someone a bad person so then this piece has no argument? I hope this doesn't sound rude I'm a fellow blogger and through time have realised that posts need to be logical to be popular.
ReplyDeleteThere are two sides to every story. We’re just being given your side here (which is understandable considering it is your blog), however to do this person who you’re referring to here justice we would really need to get their side. If they are a family member then I would say that family is important and as the saying goes, “blood is thicker than water”. Unless this person you’re referring to here is literally a monster then I would advise you to try your absolute best to heal any rifts you might have, and come together as adults and work out your issues. All families experience disagreements and grudges but for the sake of your own wellbeing and peace of mind it would be best to get this resolved. I hope to see your next blog post a more happier one, with you and this person being on better terms. All the best and I hope everything works out well.
