The double edge that is being right...

...also know as "The Double Fuck" or whatever other colorful analogy you want to create...

If you were to ask me "do you like being right?" as in being correct about an issue, a hunch, a feeling... I would be first in line to say "Yes, I do like being correct. I like the fact that usually when I get a hunch about something, I am correct about it... I would say around 80 - 90% of the time."

The unfortunate truth here is that quite often, being correct about a hunch can also mean that you have to now accept hurt feelings, or the fact that what you were correct about is in the end not such a pleasant thing to be correct about at all. I guess that's the negative side to things... and also the other edge that cuts so quickly.

In the end, I am correct about it, the person totally gave themselves away (yes I'm also fresh to death at chess as well people), and now I am going to act on it. This person had a chance to be honest... in fact I gave them multiple chances... but now that I can read them like a book, they can't really hide shit from me anymore, in fact I don't think they ever could... I just wasn't looking.

This person likes to try and tell bullshit stories about all of the trauma and drama in their life... I find them funny, what's even more humorous is the fact that they are half-way detailed... enough to build a foundation on, but never venturing into the realm of discussion around a solution.

I think that part has more to do with their overall impatience, and more than likely their inability to fully live the lie... something they probably do to "protect" themselves from falling prey to actually believing the lie they just told.

But also lets be practical... who in their right mind wants to sit and listen to suggestions on how to handle the problem when the problem doesn't even exist? It's way easier to just say that you don't want to talk about it... right?

Unfortunately, if you want me to believe your lie, you have to act like it is somewhere close to the realm of truth, and if something is the truth, then you are generally living in "that truth."

All of my fancy intellectualizing aside, I find it more disappointing then anything... I guess mainly because I had some faith that this person wasn't just a lying piece of shit... and also the fact that I defended this person's image and personal integrity to all of my friends who told me that this person was nothing more than a scandalous drama leech.

Way to go link... way to go...
