Unnecessary Conflict?

I have this weird belief: I think, if in any situation other than actually referring to theatre, if a person says the word "drama," especially when complaining about a disagreement, that they are participating in it. So if you read this, and think that word, and wonder why I dance around it, that is why.

Now moving on.

Why are people incapable of being human? I am defining "human" here as patient, forgiving, and concerned with the well-being of others. If we are truly concerned with the well-being of others, would there even be these ridiculous, retarded, UTTERLY fucking USELESS arguments? Honestly...I don't know how much of it I can take.

You know that gossip thing that we are warned against as children? I understand the appeal in that, when you're hanging out with a friend, and you are interested in the lives of other people, so you and your friend compare information. That's one thing. But the type of gossip that involves more than one person, where the motive is no longer (or no longer disguised as) concern for the well-being of the person about whom the discussion is centered upon, but is for the DELIBERATE DEHUMANIZATION of that person, that makes me sick. I absolutely cannot be in a group of people who begin a conversation that is just complaining about a person. Tearing them down! Casting judgment on them! Drawing a conclusion based on BIASED, SELECTED information, in order to create schisms!

WHAT

THE

FUCK.

Isn't this person your friend? How can you show such obvious resentment towards someone who you have promised your loyalty? This just doesn't make sense to me.

We need to take responsibility for our choices. If you are friends with someone you don't like anymore, you don't get away from them by making everyone hating them. Our responsibility as people who make relationships is to deal with them in a mature, honest, caring manner.

This being said, if anyone who has read this wonders why I get up and leave when a group starts an "oh my god can you believe what he just did" circle, you now know. It is because I cannot stand to be around you for another second. It is because I have no more respect for you. But most of all, it's because if I am next to you for one more second, listening to you deceive a person who thinks you are trustworthy, I will vomit everywhere. So just don't include me in that useless shit.
