The person who does evil will simply do what they do in the same way a bird builds a nest. They can usually no more change who they are than the bird can suddenly decide to put a roof on the nest.
The “good” people, the people who should know better, who stand by and do nothing are worse because they make a comfortable place for the evil to fester and grow. The make a soft place for the bad person to fall. They support a dangerous, rotten and corrupt system. They allow it to happen. They make room for it. They yield to it.
We are tired of yielding to your nonsense, asshole. We are tired of sacrificing our consciences to pacify your ego. We are tired of watching you do harm. Recently you welcomed a shy, new, good person into our friend group only to accuse her of overstaying her welcome, telling us she was taking advantage of us. Calling her rude. Did you only bring her in because you needed someone new to knock down? You invited her over and then badmouthed her for showing up the second she left. Your audacity is nothing short of unbelievable.
When you have a bad day, you take it out on us. When you want our attention you turn on us. When you want our love, you scorn us. What the hell did your parents do to you anyway??
We continue to support your corruption because we care about you. Because you are our friend. And because deep down inside we know you’re hurting and scared and wounded and damaged. But for christssake, take your finger off the trigger already! We love you as you are. So stop being a complete prick as a way to gain and maintain dominance. We’re here for you. For YOU. Not for the jerk you hide behind. —Mother Abigail

Oh boy.
You’re tired of yielding to the abuse and you know it won’t change, just like a bird won’t start putting a roof on its nest but you’re willing to continue making excuses for the behavior and remain supportive the individual’s “corruption”. That is weak!!

Maybe there is nothing wrong with this person. Some people are just assholes.
LOL….”We continue to support your corruption because we care about you.” Wow those satanic cults of Spryfield have some fucked up philosophies.
You’re all over the road here Mother Abigail. You say he can’t change anymore than a bird building a nest but you want him to change his ways. Well, that’s wrong because he will change if he has a reason to like people calling him out instead keeping their heads down.
Secondly, you’re tired of his nonsense, pacifying the ego and his audacity is unbelievable but “We love you as you are.” I don’t understand that part.
Thirdly, you’re there for him not the jerk he hides behind. Call out the jerk and see if the guy behind him is still there. I think that is the only resolution to this situation.
Seriously, this person has issues. Maybe you and your friends need to pull an intervention, I don’t know. You also have to ask yourself “When isn’t this person a jerk. Do I really need him in my life?”
Mother Abigail – First paragraph – bullshit. A person most certainly can change, problem is, motivation, drive, and discipline are required.
Instead of helping (calling the police, or getting him to therapy), you seem to be an enabler and therefore, are part of the problem.
Word of advice, do something before you become one of his victims.
and you people think i ramble on, what the fuck is that about,anyway. a deranged hippo in a chorus line or what?
