I posted a blog last month sometime after reading a few posts from it and deciding that it was worthwhile. I have even gone so far as to seek out the person in a chat room that by modern standards is the equivelent of an outhouse. Browser based chat - Ah, smell the stink of technology that is unforgiveably old.

Anyhow, I had read a post she made, and left comment upon it. Something along the lines of ….You are being whiny, if you are a doormat, then you are allowing it to happen. Tactful as ever. Afterwards I sought her out in chat and was unable to find her. Today, I find her blog again during the internet surfing I do between phone calls.

Needless to say, I am less than impressed.

No, it isn’t that she responded scathingly to my remarks. I would have considered it, at very least, a sign of strength to stand up and disagree with my remark. Instead she responded in traditional submissive fashion. Yes, she pretended the post didnt exist.

Certainly it stings when someone doesn’t support you in the manner you would want, but honest objective feedback is priceless - any company CEO would tell you the same. It allows you to understand your shortcomings, and identify your areas for opportunity. My remark was to take her off of the pity train upon which she was riding.

Instead she has choosen to ignore a crucial part of who she is. We all know that hiding something or ignoring it is the best way to handle any problem, right?

Why does it matter?

Well it isn’t about her, but about many people who do the same thing. I am not perfect. I am proud, stubborn, cold, unavailable and a Sadist among other things. However, there is one thing that I am above all others. Strong. Physically, yes, emotionally, mentally as well.

And I despise weakness. Weakness is the disease that pervades our society. An insidious, destructive whisper of shoulds and should nots. It festers in the wounds of the injured and the in the manipulative hands of society as a whole. It dilutes our free thinking and adulterates it with itself.

She is weak, but further more, is unwilling to change it.

Any remarks to which I disagree, will be deleted along with the post and half of my blog and replaced with one big happy face.

Add sarcasm to the above list.
