Simply put, is it not the case that each of us should have the right to tell our story? When someone does not like you or sets about to hurt you they try to tell your story for you in a hurtful and destructive way - to show you in the worst possible way - and for what reason do they tell your story for you in a bad way? To get attention? To cause you trouble and pain? What, you must ask yourself, does someone else get from telling others YOUR story or things in your life. when in fact, it is you who should be telling your story? Would you not want to be the person that controls, tells and is responsible for telling your story? What if everywhere you went someone got there first or just after you and slandered you? To friends, family or work?
If you want to know me then the best person to talk to IS ME. If you want to know who I am, then listening to gossip, libel, rumors are pretty lame. Very childish. Extremely teenage. Do you call yourself an adult? Or are you chronologically an adult, but mentally stunted as a child still? An adult adolescent as we call them.
When I hear someone else tell me another person's story or about their life, I think, "I would rather hear a first hand account instead," because someone who borrows something (as people do when they try to tell a story they are only a secondary source of or maybe a tiertiary or worse source - he said she said bullshit) from you is unlikely to treat it with the same care and respect you would, or even purposely damages it with intention to cause you harm.
I know of a bitter, old, tired woman who does just this very thing. She tells stories of other people's lives with bad intention. She is frozen in time. She speaks words that try to paint pictures of the distant past as though they had happened only yesterday. Her paintings always show her in shining light and polished armor, whereas the people she damages are left as grease stains, spewtum, demons, or ghouls. She is only capable of telling one side to a story, but acts as this story is the real article, the genuine reality to "how it really was," when in fact time, interpretation, perspective are all turned around and twisted into grotesque ministrations and mechanations invented in her own mind and projected outward to defame, defile, slander and libel only for the sake of her own interests and justifications.
Fortunately time is not on her side. She may go to the grave being this bitter, pent up, angry soul but for her sake, I hope she finds peace, forgiveness with herself and perspecitve on a much larger picture in life than her petty quabbles and irritating, if adolescent fixations, before she meets her Maker. She has used, abused, told absolute lies, and acted callously and recklessly.
Tired, old, bitter....I would never want to share a life with such a person, nor would I want to be known by such a person, yet it is the latter for which I suffer and had I known this were true of this bitter, angry person, I would have stayed away for my own sake. A decade has passed and it is to her as though no time has gone by whatsoever.
I could tell the whole of Fubar about her tired, bitter life - I could. But why bother with something so uninteresting and petty?
