A Fickle Society...

So I've noticed quite recently that people are fickle... and bonds seeming strong can be a lot thinner than originally thought... or in fact can be there only for show, hiding other deeper bonds... cryptic shit right? :P

Well I just wonder why... why would you intentionally do something that will hurt someone you call a friend... or why would you call a friend someone you want to intentionally hurt... I know there's the whole premise about keep thy friends close, and thy enemies closer.... but surely that only applies to dictators in a position where the thought of an assassination is an everyday one... and not groups of 20 or so friends still in their teens... or is that just me being naive (such an ugly word for one as beautiful as me no?) - well I have to fit the humour in amongst the depression somewhere right? :P

I miss a simpler time, one where you knew who your friends were, because your friends were there for you... but I guess that time is gone... now it seems friends cheat, like, backs-tab and even punch you in the face... and yes those aren't metaphors, I speak of a real world dilemma...

and to bring this into the real world... what started as just one bitch-ish comment by me (yes hypocritical.... but if that surprised you then you too are naive) lead to a rare opportunity... I find my self in a strange position where I can find the honest telling of both sides of a story... but I don't know if I should... I fear that if I do, I'll either be seen to backs-tab the side that I currently reside in, not through having a personal stake in, but through staying with the majority, and allowing my conclusion to be drawn from seeing one side of the story and deeming it reasonable and this lead me to be thinking... massive propaganda in the war worked just like this... and surely the "baddies" saw the selves as "goodies" dues to such reasoning based on the bias of propaganda by which the are dubbed "baddies" and because history is written by the victor how do we know for ourselves what is, and what is not, without putting proper consideration to our decisions upon viewing a shape from all angles... or (yes jumping right back in) I will be doing it while having no compassion what so ever for the moment, and so being incredibly cold and pretending to be a friend where I am not... just to find out more...

Now if you managed to follow that all the way down to here... what should I do? All advice welcome...

Thanks, and Big Love till next time xxx
