Life and people in it

   Hello people of the world, I am here with a brand spanking new blogpost for your entertainment. This one is about society. Well, people to be exact. When I say two faced what do you suddenly think of? Enemies, ex-mates, girlfriends, boyfriends? You're right if you thought of any of those. But when I think of them I think of me being bullied by my so-called mates. The ones who say they'll stick up for you, the ones who spread lies and muck about you behind your back.

   So, society. What is it? My view on society is life. We live our life, we find a partner, have sex, have offspring and then die. But I'm going into detail. The people we talk too aren't what they seem. They are like glaciers. We see what they put on, we see the lies and the mask. We don't actually see their true colours. Its amazing what we miss when we meet someone for the first time. So why do we trust someone who we don't know...?

   People and the glacier image:

    So, you're in a bar and you see a good looking person. You make the first move and its successful and hey presto you get talking. You see the outside of that person, not the inside. You both fall in love and you get together. And you trust them. Is that a bit strange? Fast forward a couple of months, you get told by various people that your partner is cheating on you. That they doesn't love you. That they hate you. But yet you still trust them. Nothing wrong in that, but you push those accusations away. Then you find out they are true. But oh no, you can't believe them because afterall, that person promised they wouldn't hurt you. Now that people is that hidden bit you never saw in that bar. The real person within.

   Thats the glacier. You see the 3rd of that person above the water but you never see the rest. The rest being the truth. Why hide your true self? Why lie? Its misleading. But thats life and thats how people work I'm afraid.

Friends who aren't really friends:

   Now onto friends. How many friends do you really have? How many can you actually confide in? I know that I have very few friends that I can talk to properly. You know what the best way to see if they are mates. To have a laugh with them. To insult them gently, have so banter with them. If they take that on the offensive then you know that they were waiting for a reason to dislikle you. If you try talking about them about something and they don't seem bothered, then you know why. But what worries me is that they call themselves mates but in actual fact they are the ones who are spreading crap about you. They are the ones who lie about sticking up for you. They know that they have mates who will back them up if they started on you. They know that you can do nothing about it at all. Again, the glacier image. So why do they do it? I will never know.

   Talking from personal experience I know how it feels to be in that situation. It's not nice and whatever you say to make it better falls on deaf ears. I have been in that situation so may times that I trust very few people these days.

Family who aren't what they seem:

   Family. Mum and dad. When you are born, you are the best thing ever. Nothing can get any better. But that changes when you grow up. Things change. Arguments happen and you are always in the centre of them. You get blamed for things. Your dad gets angry and your mum gets upset. As a child your hear your mum crying and pleading your dad not to hurt her, you hear your dad shout and you hear a sound of your dad hitting your mum. Your mum sreams louder and you cry. Next day, your mum and dad aren't talking, the house is quiet and your dad goes out never to return. Every night you hear your mum sobbing, when you grow up, you understand things clearer.

   You seem disconnected from your family and you don't feel like family no more. That isn't the glacier effect no but how the effect starts. You experience something which makes you recluse into your shell, this is where I think it all starts. What do you think? Please tell me if you agree or disagree :)
