Disappointment Betrayal and Human Nature

[Ryle Hira]

No one in this world is perfect. Society dictates certain standards on each individual in every stage of their lives that many cannot uphold. The unique thing about mankind is that we have the capacity for compassion, the ability to care and the gift of love. We are not perfect. We don’t always show compassion to those around us, we don’t always care of other feelings and unfortunately I’ve come to realize that many don’t have the ability love anyone but themselves.

The spirit of human nature has a bright side and a dark side. We, each of us, have the control to choose which we want to portray within society. Every individual makes that choice, but every individual has the ability to be brighter then what they are.

In recent months have met a large amount of new people that I now consider friends because they have shown me that individually they have not only the capacity for compassion but desire to love. Unfortunately, some of those I now care about have shown a loss of control over the dark side of their nature. I want to encourage all those that I love to remember the good times. Remember the precious moments. Disappointment and betrayal are a part of our unfortunate imperfect nature but we can overcome the dark side of ourselves by opening our hearts and our minds to the needs and feelings of others. Search yourself, and your feelings carefully. Be cautious of what you say specifically in how you say it. And remember above all else whatever you are going thru you are loved.

Well put

Unfortunately, in the scene you run in that is, more often than not, the case...

[Homicidalheathen]

yup. Darkness is as darkness does.

Nice take on it though

True enough... I wanted to say it because I mean it ... sometime when dealing with the internal darkness of other I come off very blunt and kind of a bitch. I never mean it that way at that's never how I start but EVERYone is imperfect and we all need to be sensitive to that if nothing else... I love all my new friends and I'm the kinda person that really lives by "can't we all just get along"

[Homicidalheathen]

Everyone has a dark side. Its what you make of it that sets you apart.

I have the same problem.. With the communication issue

I come off to be a total dick sometimes

I have no idea what you're talking about but Did I miss something by leaving early on Saturday?

If you ever want to talk in private I've walked the line for many years and have seen both sides. I try to avoid drama but am always available to friends who want to talk.

[Msterbeau]

May I add - Communicate. It doesn't take much to let people know you're thinking about them, love them, care for them, whatever their friendship/relationship status is to you. I think a lot of us, me included, don't do that enough. Even a simple text saying, "Hi, you're in my thoughts", goes a long way. If you think of that as clingy or overly emotional behavior, look inside and think again. Its someone reaching out to you. Be grateful. You may not always have such people in your life.

We are all imperfect, but that doesn't mean we can't try harder to make sure the people that we care for know it if we feel like we're not doing a good job at it.

Thank you... it wasn't a negative directed to anyone in particular. It was a full moon on Saturday. Lots of hackles were raised. I'm sure lots of words were said between people I don't even know... I just thought I'd put out a positive vibe... make sure everyone knows that no matter what trivial thing happens the true nature of someone the good nature of someone and the great moments that are shared with such poeple should be remebered above and beyond any moments betrayal or disappointment because we are imperfect and we all make mistake and will continue to do so.

FOR EVERYONE!!!!

Truer words have not been stated in a long time.

if you can't be good, at least be good at being bad.

I guess my biggest problem at the moment is the losers and users that want to ride on someone elses hard work and sweat! Human nature is twisted this much i have learned, but even with the twisted nature of it a lot of people manage to be thankful and grateful. Lately I have discovered that there are people that believe that the world owes them everything just because of who they are, and they want to sit back while others sweat and cry and push and pull and get things done, then they step up and claim it as theirs! is really fucked up!

I agree Marc. I think most who know me know that I truly love them and if they need me all they have to do is ask. I never runout of love or compassion.

I can certainly agree about such "coat-riders"..."do somethin' cool to help..OR GET OFF.." That's my new words for those peoples...they are everywhere......

It's of no use, trying to count the amount of times I've been betrayed in my life (or the amount of times I have bore witness to friends betraying themselves). I have never betrayed another, but I have betrayed myself, many times. My apologies go out to anyone, who has had to bear witness to my shortcomings.

On the other hand..it is also of no use, trying to count the amount of times I have been shown incredible amounts of human kindness, empathy, and strength; and have also stumbled upon these virtues dwelling within myself. These are the things I live for experiencing-- and they far outweigh the hurts in life.

Because of our own individual imperfections, and the speed at which our society pushes through time, mankind has in many ways lost its ability to communicate effectively. In many ways our society specifically because we are such a mixture of cultures, moral and ethics has the largest disadvantage. Many times disappointment, betrayal and the negative perceptions of someones actions are completely misunderstood. We all need to slow down, ask questions calmly, and believe that those around us that we know and love are not out to get us. Trust logic. Trust patients. Trust reasoning. Never be so quick to believe anything. If it matters to know, make sure you FIND the truth. Always be cautions of what you say and exactly how you say.

***And remember above all else whatever you are going thru you are loved.***
