I've met some people who are just all talk and they sound wonderful. All these beautiful idealistic ideas they paint in their heads. And they hold people to these ideas. But in looking at their own lives, there is a deep chasm between what they preach and how they live. *lol* Ever see the preacher on T.V. with the sly grin and think, "this guy can't possibly practice what he preaches??!"
Or whenever the subject of himself/herself, comes up as far as holding themselves to whatever they preach outta their mouths, they start bringing up the "don't take yourself so seriously" routine. *eye roll* And then, when it comes to other people, they return back to the one must hold you to rigid standards routine *eye roll again*. Then they laugh bait and switch. Makes me think that these people are just actors who are hypocrites (plus preaching against hypocracy) only after their own convenience. Maybe actors that need to paint a rosy picture to the parents or friends around them? Just funny when I see them. Like they act like Gods when they're just a bunch of losers deep down that passively aggressively retaliate against the shit they've been giving in life but happily preaching fantasies, while they can never live up to those fantasies.
If they're at fault, they blame others. If they don't want to look bad, they trash others. Ugh, makes me think of a large tub of slime. Funny part is this is at the highest echelons of society. My philosophy is always to live life the way that makes you happiest. So if you want to be a schmuck and stay in a log cabin all your life, so be it. Typically if you want to advance and get anywhere far, then you have to really mature and be a principled person (unless you were George Bush *cough* and have everything by birth.... so he can stay a schmuk and stay in his mansion all his life. The bad part about this is, he's signing off on laws that will affect the rest of us).
For me, I've seen the duplicity of how people act in real life and what they preach to others to protect their image, most prevalent amongst the smartest people. Like they think, oh since we have the ability, might as well take advantage of it ... har har har, Darwin Rules!!! (my ass ... *cough*) If you've ever seen this particular person in real life, you'd know what I mean. Seems like they don't want to blend with normal folks, because they're so against embraces all the darker weaker aspects of themselves. Like they haven't matured in strength and character to fully embrace and accept all of themselves as a human being....while at the same time (while accepting the weaker portions of yourselves and living with it and just knowing that you're a human and not being so serious about it) not letting those weaknesses affect the strongest parts of yourself that should be guiding a very fulfilling life of yours lead by things in your nature that you're good and strong at.
Point is: Those people that preach a lot of cute superior sounding intellectual garbledeegook, tend to be those that haven't lived life enough and developed an inner strength, maturity, and center that only comes from jumping into things that tug at your soul. Rather than falling back on non-realistic idealism, and waiting a lifetime for perfection to come to you, while your whole life passes you by. Like they say, "Life is what happens, while you make plans."
Anyone ever run into anyone like that? In your own lives or on the boards? I have, which is why I like to date people older than me who have more maturity and experience, rather than the waaaaaay too idealistic, not mature enough yet (schmuks who rather than appreciating what they have, they lean on idealistic fantasies and stay on a computer where they probably would wish they didn't have if they were 10 years older and past their midlife crisis).
