Deeply Disturbing "Innocent" Behavior

Published: Wed, 02/04/15

You know those people who routinely make promises but never deliver? There was a time this kind of thing didn't bother me. I could easily shrug it off. 

I was raised to believe that most people have good intentions. Because of this, I automatically assumed that the person did not mean to deceive me.  I never saw something like this to be malicious.  I don't feel this way anymore. 

 I'm not talking about people who miss deadlines because they're disorganized and/or can't schedule their time. 

I am talking about people who habitually over-promise. I am talking about people who tell you whatever in order to gain your cooperation in the moment.I am talking about people who say they are going to do something, or that they feel something, as if you can take the thing to the bank, when in reality, their mouth just wrote a check, their ass will never cash.

I've come to deplore people like this. "I'll love you forever... or at least until tomorrow." I deplore them because they crush the hearts of people who do believe in the good nature of their fellow human beings.

As for the astrology, the Sun opposes Jupiter this week. People will be inclined to over-promise.  Instead, you might choose to act righteously. If you don't mean it and you're not going to do it, how about you just shut up?

If you're feeling generous, please set up a monthly donation. to support this letter. You probably won't notice if you send me $5 or $10 a month...but I will! 

Have a great day!
