I once had a teacher, Dr. Hitchcock (seriously), who would tell us that revenge must be balanced by adequate amounts of compassion. That phrase has always stuck with me, not because of it's directness, but because of the generalness it implies. I mean, the fact that everything needs it's opposite to balance it applies to everything.
I'm sick of flattery, sick of sugary sweet. I'm starving for truth, and yes, I believe I can handle it. I feel like everyone I come in contact with wants compliments in excess, wants the watered-down version of everything. WHY??? I can't take it anymore. Excess sweetness, in both an individual and society, can lead to disease and death. Is that what we want?
I can't stand the fact that I have to piss my sister off just to get her to tell me how she really feels about me, and I find it ironic that that's when I like her the best---when she's totally pissed. It's the only time I see her true self.
I hear the phrase, "You catch more flies with honey than with vinegar", often. I leave you with this:
Who gives a fuck about catching flies? Kill 'em!!!
