I am becoming increasingly disenchanted with people who
claim to "live and let live" with respect to relationships with
others. My frustration stems not from
the claim but from the fallacy when uttered by the self professed emotional noblility. The very
people who proclaim this admirable character trait spend their lives in an
endeavour to control others.
e.g is it "live and let live" to infer that those
who choose to watch reality shows are cognitively challenged ? Now I wouldn't care if someone sat and
watched a dirt spot on the wall for their entire life as long as I was not
expected to derive some euphoric
response to that same spot. Inference is the gentle assassin, particularly if
uttered with a condescending smile and a slow shake of the head. Of course
there exists a myriad of control strategies, all testimony to an alternate
model.................
the "live as I live" lifeplan. Hmmmmmmppphhhhhh !!!!
'Self professed sainthood' is a personality oxymoron - it is all about control
