I'm a Heartless Bitch out of necessity more than anything else. It's a
state of mind that I attained only through learning not so much what
works, but more like what doesn't work. And self-pity comes high up on
that list. That's why I have a take-no-prisoners approach to those still
stuck in this mindset. Life is unfair? No shit. Deal with it. Because if
you ever expect to get what you want, one of the first things you have
to do is rid yourself of the Pollyanna notion that life, or the people
in it, should always be fair. So please spare me the petty whining and
sniveling about how you've been wronged or hard done by in this
admittedly bizarre, seldom logical or rational game called life. If you
could pull your head out of your ass long enough to look at the bigger
picture, you'd see the many ways in which you're contributing to your
own misery.
There's no shame in making mistakes. Being human means fucking up every
now and then. But I see too many people who keep making the same sort of
mistakes over and over again and never seem to learn anything from them.
And if you're one of those people then I have about as much sympathy for
you as I do for the person caught with twenty items in the "twelve items
or less" checkout lane.
What I like about this site is its ability to inform and amuse at the
same time. But hilarious as I find a lot of what I read here to be, I
also find some of it to be pretty sad. Because I'm reminded of just how
pervasive the victim mentality has become to the point that so many
people don't even seem to think it's possible to take charge and bring
improvement to their lives. It's unfortunate that the world seems to
have an abundance of stupid people. What is even sadder is that there
seem to be many more intelligent ones who live miserable lives simply
because of their refusal to acknowledge their own poor choices and
self-defeating patterns of behavior.
Am I saying personal accountability is some kind of a panacea for all of
life's sticky situations? Hell, no. Not by a longshot. But at the very
least it can't make matters more complicated than necessary.
Yes! I want to read more from Real Life Heartless Bitches
