Let Those Without Sin Cast The First Stone.

It's amazing what one sees if he or she pays attention... I'm as much of a busybody as anyone else... at least as far as my observations are concerned.... but I try not to get involved in drama if I can help it.. especially if it doesn't concern me specifically... or someone close to me.. still it's strange how certain people can do things... and not expect it to be obvious.. or that no one will find out. I'm not sharing specifics about anything I find... but it still all adds to my cynicism.  It's like people will say or do something...and they expect that to remain a secret.  Unfortunately, online, people have no secrets. Information gets passed along under the most tight-lipped crowd. My outlook is that I really don't care anymore... I'm living for me... for the day I'm currently in... and I refuse to address this issues of unfaithfulness... or cheating.. I made that post several days ago and I meant what I said.  The odd thing is that maybe some people don't recognize themselves as being just as bad as those that do the same thing to them. It might not be quite the same, but if everyone would take a good look at themselves, there would be many recognizable similarities in the manner of how people interact. I know I've said that I don't trust anyone... and for good reason... but I am trying to be the person that doesn't hold things against people. I know who my friends are... and yes.. even they do things that I would be hurt or betrayed in my not-so-distant past... but I don't feel the need to make a big deal over anything anymore... it solves nothing.. There is no use in me bringing to light the shortcomings of some people just for argument's sake. There might even be someone reading this that feels it is directed at them... I know that a lot of people read my blog now, as the counter goes up...some days as much as 15 or 20. People get offended at the way people treat them... and then do things just as bad... I hate find out some things... as it paints a negative picture of people... of some that I even grow to respect a bit. My realization is that most people are oblivious to who knows about what... and can continue on with interaction as though nothing is going on elsewhere.  In the years that I've been online, I've sparked an outrage in myself in some of the things I've seen... or found out about... but why?  I don't answer for these people... everyone is just trying to make it the best way they see fit.. so what if that doesn't match with my idea of being straightforward or honest... My ideology isn't the only correct one out there. I don't want to shun someone... just because I find out they are a bit hypocritical.. that doesn't mean I have to let them any closer in my life than they are now.. but I know a bit more with whom I'm dealing... I don't plan on anything long-term with anyone in my life... I'm broken way beyond that.. it's partially because of things I learn about people over the years.. that even the most trustworthy can betray that trust at a moments notice... But what is trust?  If I expect someone to behave in a certain manner... and they don't... did they break my trust?  ...I think there's more to it than that... As I've said before.. everyone has his or her own set of standards... it is when a person breaks those standards is the point where they will find it difficult to live with themselves... I can't attest that I've always stayed in my idealistic range of values... So I can't hold it against anyone for a bit of hypocrisy on occasion... well.. actually I can.. but I won't.  Everyone is the master of his or her own life... they are the ones that set their standards... if they can't live up to those standards... it is really none of my business... I've learned that evidently it is human nature to "bend the rules" ..but how far will those rules bend before they're considered broken. I really don't have that answer... I choose not to think about it too much... because I have my own faults as well... they may have nothing to do with this current topic, but, all the same... I have some... so let those without sin cast the first stone.
