I had never really before thought of myself as a Heartless Bitch, but
reading through "The Heartless Manifesto" struck a chord with me. Upon
careful consideration I think I may just be a Heartless Bitch after all.
On the surface I appear to be a nice, relatively calm and collected
middle-aged woman. First off, I AM NOT NICE! What I am is a good friend
to have and very loyal to those I consider my friends (and a very select
group they are, I may add), but may the Gods help you if you mess with
any of them. I firmly believe that revenge is a moral imperative.
Underneath my skin is a core of solid stubbornness surrounded by healthy
doses of sarcasm, humor, and common sense.
I try very hard to not be judgmental about others having dealt with
prejudices about me, my friends, and my family all of my life. As a
result I have a very low threshold for bullshit caused by blatant
stupidity (i.e. refusing to acknowledge that any other lifestyle than
yours can be of any value) I don't really care how you live your life,
as long as you respect that I will live MY life the way I want...and
most likely that won't be the way you would want. You don't have to like
it, but you have no right to condemn me for it. You can laugh at it all
you want, just remember that I am reserving the right to return the
favor.
I do not choose my friends based on superficial things like skin color,
education level, bra size, fashion sense, or whatever. The only criteria
is that you must be an individual who is capable of learning. And that I
like you of course! Too many people are merely sheep blindly following
where societal brainwashing leads them, never learning to think for
themselves or take responsibility for their own actions. I believe that
is up to each person to deal with the results of their own actions and
not take the "easy out" by randomly assigning blame to any convenient
scapegoat. Actions have consequences. I like to think I have learned
this lesson, why does it seem that the majority of people around me are
incapable of learning the same lesson?
In conclusion, I am more concerned with self-love and self-respect than
anyone else's opinion of me. I am happy with myself the way I am and I
refuse to change to meet some other person's ideal. If that makes me a
Heartless Bitch then all I can say is "Great!"
Yes! I want to read more from Real Life Heartless Bitches
