I find fighting on Facebook futile and immature, but that doesn't mean I don't like to stir the pot every now and again. I, also, don't like 2 faced people trying to push their opinions on other people when they have clearly done the walk of shame themselves.
I have a "friend" and I'm using that term loosely because she only seems to reach out to me when she's in need and never to just hang out, anymore. Before it didn't bother me so much because we both had extremely busy lives, so any time together was appreciated. I'm not sure what her life is exactly like now, since I never hear from her, but then again I've given up really trying to keep her in my life. It's just another path once intertwined now gaining distance. Now that this "friend" is married and pregnant, she feels that she has the right to publicly rip on people who she doesn't even know about things she barely knows anything about. She ridiculed a "star" and called her a whore on Facebook because of said "star's" dating life. Saying that she need to act classier if she's going to live in the public eye. Oh it gets better.
1) How is it classy calling someone, you don't even know anything about, a whore on Facebook? To tell someone to act classy, you have to be classy yourself, and KNOW what it means.
2) Said "friend" was a super slut!!!!
- you might be able to hide the fact you were a slut from the world, the your friends know the truth
3) It takes a slut to know a slut
4) who cares? If someone wants to live in the public eye, transparently, I think they should be commended for it, not condemned. Dating, married, cheating, single, gay.....anything, it's their life!
5) She then went on blaming people like this "star" for teenage girl bullying because as a role model she shouldn't be jumping from guy to guy. But it's okay for her to jump bed to bed. hmm.....?
Ok, so when do we stop blaming everyone else for our own shortcomings? I grew up in the age of Madonna. MADONNA!!!! The leader of the public media sexual revolution! Like a virgin but NOT! But you didn't see me skanking it up in high school. I make conscious decisions and held myself responsible for ALL of them. While my other friends were getting promiscuous, I was working and focusing on bigger better things. I didn't care whether or not they were hooking up with people. It was their bodies and their choices. As long as I was allowed to be me, then they were allowed to be themselves, no judgement passed. The crazy thing was that they judged themselves more than I would ever dream to.
People who throw stones at glass houses need to quick calling the kettle black and look in the mirror. What you ridicule others for are the same things you don't like in yourself.
I called her out for passing judgement on this young woman. She said she's "just stating the facts." What facts? No one really knows anything about anyone's life. No body. No one knows if that public figure is a slut or not. All we know is that she's dated a lot of people. Even if she did get intimate with them, it's still nobody's business. Who cares?
This so call friend preaches God and Bible version every other Facebook post but then judges others on the next. Not to mention her love for Britney Spears....umm.....ex-crazy slut. If that's not 2 faced and hypocritical, then I don't know what it. God loves sluts!!! God loves prudes!
Whether we make right or wrong choices, God loves all his children the same. He wants them to be happy. Who are we to judge whether what is right or wrong for a person? Now, I'm not condoning heinous acts like murder and such, I'm just staying if you want to give a part of yourself away, you can. If you want to save yourself for someone special, you can do that too.
To have this person think she knows anything about someone else bothers me. Maybe if she looked in the mirror every now and again she would have more compassion for those around her. Knowing her, she'll go back to living in her bubble where she thinks she knows better than anyone else.
If you like to sleep around, God love ya for it. If you don't like to sleep around, God love ya for it. If you are trying to figure it out along the way, the by golly keep trying to do so. Either way, we are all outsiders looking into to other people's lives. We will never truly know what is going on. Focus on how you treat others, whether online or in real lives because before you know it, you might push people who care away.
Justly yours, Merry Ms Berry
Unfortunately, the people who pick others apart the most are usually the most miserable. It's projection of the worst kind, and those who do it are no worse than the common bully. It's fun to gossip every once in a while, but to be mean spirited and judgmental about someone you don't even know sounds like she's hiding a bigger issue than she'd like anyone to know about. Sad.
ReplyDeleteI actually loved this post since I read the title, and it just got better after that.
ReplyDeleteThe bitch you mentioned here sounds like she has some serious issues she needs to work out. Any truly spiritual person would, I hope, be above judging people's worth (although the occasional comment or outfit can be just too tempting sometimes).
Either way. I caught up on your blog after break. Damn good, as usual.
