With this Truth-- I thee Lose.
“The first reaction to truth is hatred.” ~ Tertullian.
No matter what I do in life I’ll always be the “bad ‘guy’,” why? Because I tell the truth. But, since when did telling the truth (or telling it like it is) become a bad thing? Since when has it become a bad trait to have?
Besides, no matter how much I try to avoid trouble… it still seems to find me. I tried to mind my business and stay out of the way, but it’s not in my personality to keep quiet when I see people be taken advantage. I hate it even more when I see others exploit the poor.
I have a really strong personality—a bitch I’ve been called a time or ten. I’ve also been called oober bitch, mega bitch, big bitch, and many more variations of the word bitch. But, I’m not so much a mean girl; I just say what’s on my mind if what is said is wrong. I stand up for injustice and almost always fight for others; this often results in lost “friends” and the start of a heap of arguments—almost of have gone unappreciated.
I had two friends—friend 1 and friend 2. Friend 1 tried to take advantage of friend 2. Friend 2 has a really weak personality, so she asked for my help. I gave my truthful opinion on the matter to friend 1. So in the end, I stood up for friend 2, which resulted in my loss of friend 1. Well I thought, “At least I have friend 1.” Today I find out, friend 1 and friend 2 are still friends.
Friend 2 sucks.
I didn’t mind losing friend 1 because the friendship was lost over a good cause and I still don’t want her friendship back. But now I’m wondering should I drop friend 2? How awful is it that I lost friend 1 by defending friend 2, and yet friend 2 still finds it in her heart to talk to friend 1? Is there something wrong with this picture or is it just me?
