It has got to be my biggest pet peeve when someone tells me something, a lie, and I discover the truth. Then, when confronted with the truth, I am lied to again. I just want to walk up to these people, (One in particular.) with a loudspeaker and scream "ARE YOU STUPID!!??!" It seriously irritates me.
The fakest, lamest, most disgusting thing a person can do is lie, and lie to cover it up when you have found the truth. You can be my best, closest friend...And you will be done the moment you prove to me that I cannot trust you. The only way to gain that trust back would literally be to slave my every command until I can see that you actually want to see me pleased, or secondly, take a bullet for me. In some cases, Id rather they try the second.
But dont you know what I mean? Like someone tells you something WAAAY ahead of time, they tip you off that someone is going to lie. So you wait...and wait....and wait...and then it comes. And you take it. You let it sit for a while, let the event follow the course of its path. Then you confront them with the truth. Like a sting, you have set them up and watched them do EXACTLY what you knew they would do. You gathered Human Intelligence, you analyzed the situation, witnessed it occur, confirmed the lie is indeed valid, and you confront the individual.
Then they pretend you are some sort of idiot. Some sort of gullible simpleton. I know many people like this, and I have kicked them all to the curb. Many of them have been very close friends, but when proven that I cannot trust them, I know the friendship and any bonds we had were completely fake. Completely and totally meaningless to the individual who lacks the integrity to tell the truth. It is disheartening when I look at some of these individuals, and the lives they lead. The places they go and the failures that trail with them as they go along. It is pathetic, sad, and amusing all at one.
I learned this through a very close friend of mine not long ago. At first I was sad that I had lost a friend. But when I stepped back to recap what had happened, I realized I should not be sad. I should be glad that trash is out of my life. And I am. But it doesnt change the fact that you could have such an excellent bond with someone (Or so you thought) and that they would deceive you in such a low, disgusting, unthinkable level. But what is worse, is when they apologize. They say "They're sorry", but not what for. They do not fess up to what they have done, and they do not spill their guts on the truth. They are trying to LIVE out the lie! They are convinced themselves of this lie!
They say they dont want the friendship to end, but you realize, it NEVER even EXISTED! It was a predication constructed around smoke and mirrors! They set up an image of loyalty and friendship. What the individuals in my case didnt count on is not only that I knew, not only am I a billion times smarter than them when it comes to analytical problem solving and putting together the truth, but when THEIR best friends, people THEY have trusted and entrusted the secrets to realize how low they have become, they realize how terrible their friend has been to someone, and they call you. Like they called me. Like several people that person had trusted called me.
They admit they knew, and that they didnt do anything. They confess to being afraid to confront this individual about their lies. However, they cannot live with the fact that they are continuing on this trail of lies, and know that for the sake of their conscience and the truth, as well as doing the right thing for their friend, they tell on their friends. They arent snitches, they are people who have Integrity. And they hate to see their friends go down a path of self destruction. I hate to see it too, and it is terrible when you once cared for this person a great deal.
You get the satisfaction of knowing this person lives in a box, a little box where they have created a false reality only they can see. The real amusement is when you watch these people, you notice that the people who came to you with the truth, that individuals friends, they still associate with them. They still hang around them. And you, you get to sit and watch as this person pretends they have covered their loose ends, when in reality their lies are as naked and plain to see as the sky.
