WFP; I do find that most people cannot handle the truth, they seem to either think you are stupid, weak and they blame you for your situation- which is sometimes rather out of your control (bad people in the area you live in, for eg and can't easily move) and end up rejecting and gossiping about you. Many don't tell things as they really are so when someone does, it sounds ''shocking '' when you are simply trying to find a solution or want to improve things.

Why is it in our society we say all these well-meaning things, yet few people actually follow them? Why do people seek to manipulate you into liking/accepting them?
Wouldn't it be better if some kind of microchip was implanted into people's brains, to make them do as they say?
Probably all of us are cowards and hypocrites at some point in time in our lives. Pushing blame to others, afraid to accept blame for things that happen in our lives, willing to hurt others in order to get ahead. It's natural. But the people who are the most dangerous are the ones without a conscience.
These are the people who have the uncanny ability to RATIONALIZE away all shred of humanity and decency. Dissonance between reality and perception.
Our higher-order ability to use logic and rationale is a gift that evolution has bestowed upon us. This makes possible the technology and inventions that have propelled us into the 21st century. Unfortunately, the flip side of this coin is that we are able to act like total turds.
Then there are the judgmental bastages who enjoy pushing their morality on others without inspecting their own hateful, imperfect lives. Another form of rationalization and hypocrisy.
At this point I can concede that I hate interacting with other human beings - whether they be bad or good in the classical sense. Not because I'm bitter. I'm just tired. The most hilarious thing in the universe is that most people (good or bad) tend to see themselves as better than average - mathematically, this does not compute.
I don't think most people are cowards and hypocrites. Most of the people I know stand up for what they believe in, and I don't have friends that are hypocrites.
Why are most people cowards and hypocrits, well because thats the way this country was founded. These are the values the founding fathers brought from their home lands. This is the history of the world and the human condition.
Remember Mel Gibson in the movie "What Women Want" where he could read their minds ? That would be fun for about 30 days but I have a feeling I'd want the ability to turn it off. Not sure I want to hear what everyone else thinks about me or life in general.
Luckily as adults, many of us can filter out some of the stupid or bad things we would like to tell people before we actually say it.
I work with adults that worry about how a 7 yr old insult them. I just look at them,"Are you serious?!...he's 7!!!" It's called overlooking the dumb. Or selective hearing.
Did you forget to take out the trash?.....(silence).....She raises her voice...(RAKIN??)...He raises his voice ....WHAT?!....(she's mad)..Why did you yell at me...(throws hands up)..Oh good grief!
