Stop the love and light shit already

Ahh..I have been drama free most of the week..no yelling or listening to the ignorance that some people spout on a daily basis.  So how to start off my new week?  Why, by voicing an opinion on a post and the OP resorting to yelling, stomping and throwing temper tantrums like the asscricket he is, of course. 🙂
So what is the new drama about? A friend posted a new meme that says:
Everyone can say I love you 
But not everyone means it
So believe it when you feel it
not when you hear it.

I called BULLSHIT.  Why?  Well as some of ya’ll know, I have issues.  And one of those is about those three little words.  Love is a verb. To be put into action.  If you say it, then how you treat the person you say it to will back that up. Standing in front of a mirror saying “I love myself” over and over again until you believe it is borderline psychosis.  I will admit that positivity is needed , but a mantra of  telling yourself that you love  yourself  is lacking on a lot of shadow work in order to accomplish that. Said asscricket says if you say it enough times you will believe it and that we are what we think..really?  If that is the case then a lot of people in this world are in damn big trouble.  Too often people have low self-esteem and think they are nothing more than what others validation makes them.  Again..BULLSHIT!!! We are MORE than what we think.  It takes work, and letting go of stones  that others have placed in our pockets that invariably cause us to drown with the weight as we step out into the waters that is life flowing by.  A simple mantra to place “magick”(his pretentious use of the “k” not mine) on ones self is not a viable option to living life here in the mundane.  In truth, it reminds me of the SNL skit of the guy looking in the mirror and saying, “I am special, I am intelligent, and doggone it, I like me”…It’s a joke.  Self delusion is not a harmless diversion.  There are a lot of self-help gurus around that would have you believe that if you tell yourself often enough then you can manifest what you want to happen. BULLSHIT.  If wishes were enough then cancers, abuse, wars and all the other ills of the world would disappear, because the gods know that many of us wish things could be different on a daily, hell sometimes even hourly basis.

I know people who make excuses for those in their lives that utter those words, and yet treat them with disrespect and are  abusive verbally.   So I can’t help wondering if the  self help asscricket  would prescribe them to do his mantra to gain some clarity in their lives to gain a magical foothold into finding the love in their lives.  I’m sure he would and he would be wrong of course.  When people validate themselves by others opinions, they have a lot of issues to work on.  And just telling yourself you love you, will not do it.  They have to learn the value of self.  That encompasses ALL areas of life.

For those who truly believe in all the love and light crap, that is your privilege I guess, but I live in the real world(and other areas as well) and do not abide with the view that “love is all you need” even if the Beatles did have a simplistic view of a better world.  What we need is some common sense of how to treat others and learn that lip service is not going to cut it, magically or otherwise.
