Amusing to me...

Hmmm...Well it has been made known to me that one can never really fully trust too many people. Those who say they are your friends will ultimately betray you one way or another. You know...most people who know me know that I would give the shirt off my back to anyone who needed it. I find it funny how you could do so much for someone and they can so soon forget. They will run you down in the ground, they will talk about you behind your back as though you were no better than the dog poop you wipe off your feet before going into your house. What is the amazing thing really is that for some reason, I am never surprised at how often this has happened...especially to me. What does always surprise me is that of all the times I have been used...and believe me it has been a lot...not a single one of the people will have ever had the courage to tell me to my face exactly what they really feel about me. I have become quite calloused when it comes to this so it does not affect me anymore as it once did. I know that I have a responsibility to treat everyone a certain way...thought I don't always like it nor do a always agree...it is what the Lord says is right. Any who...the point of this being...and I don't know about you but, if I didn't care for someone or I thought poorly of someone and would much rather not be around them...then there would be no way that I could ever continue a relationship with that person. Here is what I have found...these certain types of people that I am talking about...though I know for a fact that they do not care for me (which as I already mentioned is fine by me) are the types that ONLY call when they NEED something. That's it...I mean doesn't that seem wrong to you? I mean if I had said some of the things that I know these people have said about me I would not have the audacity to call them up because I needed something...I surely would have to call up someone else...wouldn't you? I have decided that those who are doing poorly usually have several things in common. The main thing being that they are negative all the time...there is no possible way that they could ever see the glass as half full...and secondly...their situation is NEVER their own fault. They are victims of whatever situation has fallen upon them. It would never occur to one of these people that their lives or their situation or their marriage or whatever could be the direct result of the decisions THEY THEMSELVES HAVE MADE. Of course because to say that would mean that they would have no one else to blame for what is going on except themselves. As I have seen it...there are very few people who would actually stand up and act like an adult and accept that maybe they had not made the best decisions in their life. If they did that then they would have to enact some sort of change to make their lives better because of course none of us want to be dubbed a failure right. Do you know the definition of insanity?? It is doing the same thing over and over the same way every time and expecting different results!! Ahh well if it weren't for the bad times in our lives we would have no idea of what good is would we? I feel sorry for the sort of people I am talking about in that I know that they will always and forever be in the same rut they are in now. The saddest part of all of this is that they will forever be unhappy, they will always be a victim of this and a victim of that, and because they can never see past their own noses they will never amount to much. I am fortunate to be surrounded by very positive people and I am sure that has a lot to do with why I see things so differently than others. I know that I will NEVER be a victim of any certain circumstance but a student of life's lessons. I have no regrets in my life as I have learned something valuable in most everything I have ever been through. I believe that we grow from ALL the happenings in our life and it molds us into what we are today...I don't know about you but I like who I am and am not sorry for all the things that have made me this way. I suppose I am done rambling now. I'm not even sure why I felt compelled to write this other than the fact that I was thinking of certain people and it amused me so how they are always the same, always predictable in their dealings with me.
