Before I go posting quotes, I just wanted to rant really quick because lately I've been noticing a horrifying amount of fake people. No, I'm not playing off of Halloween and costumes- I mean people who act a certain way just to get attention, or to make people believe they are something they aren't. As a very down-to-earth person myself, it always annoys me... hence why I've cut so many people out of my life as of late. I've written about this before though, so I won't bore you with it again.
I just don't understand why people feel the need to be fake! If you aren't happy with who you truly are to the point that you feel you need to masquerade; you may as well go ahead and change who you are fully! Make improvements to yourself so that you as a person change- not just what everyone else sees. If you're going to put the effort into being something you aren't (yet), you may as well benefit from it. In the long run it'll help you because people will know you for who you are, and you won't have to pile up lies and identities to fit in. "Fake people have an image to maintain. Real people don't care." "It is not my job to expose the fake. In due time, they expose themselves." "I hate that some people are judged for being real while others are loved for being fake." "Everything you do for attention is the reason you don't have mine." "Confidence is silent; insecurities are loud." "Everybody isn't your friend. Just because they hang around you and laugh with you doesn't mean they're for you. Just because they say they've got your back, doesn't mean they won't stab you in it. People pretend well. Jealousy sometimes doesn't live far. So know your circle. At the end of the day, real situations expose fake people, so pay attention." - Maddie

Don't tell me about having respect for those who are working when you don't show common decency to minimum wage workers... I know how to be respectful.
Don't tell me not to yell if you've been yelling for the past twenty minutes. Don't tell me to show you respect if you won't show me any yourself. Don't tell me I'm stupid, clueless, or anything of the sort and then expect me to instruct you in how to do things / fix everything for you. Don't tell me about how to keep my own space clean if your mess is cluttering places the entire family uses. Don't complain about me "harassing" you all day if you ask me to run errands for you and then proceed to harass everyone else yourself. Don't ask me for help and advice if you're only going to tell me that what I told you is wrong and not attempt it in the first place. I'm sorry if any of you take this post in the wrong way. I'm very, very tired of hypocritical people expecting everything to be done in a certain way by everyone around them and then refusing to follow through with it themselves. If I expect something from someone else, then I'll at least try to follow through with it myself. In a way, it's the principle my dad uses with this blog- my sister and I write on it; but to set a good example, he does too. That goes as far as respect. I think I've explained this before but I can honestly never say it enough. I will treat everyone with the same amount of respect until they give me a reason to show them more or less. I'll go as far as to say that I'll even give disrespectful people second and third chances by continuing to show them respect, even if they show none to me. I give chances to see if they'll reciprocate. Some people simply aren't used to being treated nicely and it reflects in their treatment of others. If, after those chances have been given, the person still chooses to be disrespectful? After that point I see no reason to show them any respect after I went out of my way to try and understand them. That's the bottom line and the end of this post, and topic. I really don't have anything more to say. This needs to stop. - Maddie Today's been long... incredibly long. Lately I've been dealing with a lot of dishonesty in my life and its been taking its toll on me, I must admit. I'm sick of it. It literally makes me physically ill knowing some people can do such terrible things to people and live with no remorse for it... it really says something about character. I personally have come to the point where it's extremely hard for me to tell big lies. I tell the occasional white lie; but who doesn't..? Whenever I even try to tell a big lie (which is rare to begin with) I always get overcome with guilt and fess up to whatever it is.
Because of this, I decided to look through some quotes on google and post some of the best ones. I'm not much in the mood for writing; but I did figure I'd give a little insight to my choice of topic. "Before us lie two paths- honesty and dishonesty. The shortsighted embark on the dishonest path; the wise on the honest. For the wise know the truth: in helping others, we help ourselves; and in hurting others, we hurt ourselves. Character overshadows money, and trust rises above fame. Honesty is still the best policy." "Lying and dishonesty never work- and it is a great human tragedy that people think dishonesty can work for a good motive." "You lie so often and so well that you actually believe your lies to be the truth. You are a superb pathological liar; and it's terrifying." "When someone lies to you, it's because they don't respect you enough to be honest, and they think you're too stupid to know the difference." "Never try to destroy someone's life with a lie; when yours could be destroyed with the truth." "More people would learn from their mistakes if they weren't so busy denying them." "Should you ever find yourself the victim of other people's bitterness, lies, or insecurities... just remember that it could be worse. You could be them." - maddie |
