I would say I’m an easy person to get along with. As long as you don’t smoke pot, drink too much, cover yourself in tattoos and body piercings, don’t cheat on your spouse, don’t live off the government as a welfare recipient, aren’t a Democrat, didn’t compromise yourself in college hazing rituals, aren’t a sexual deviant, aren’t a godless heathen, aren’t a lazy loser, if there are any people left in the world at that point, I’m very easy to deal with. But love is not promised, it’s earned, and if people abuse their relationship with me, I hold it against them. And I have to say that because over the Memorial Day weekend, I heard at least three times that I’m a controlling lunatic who is too difficult to deal with. I wouldn’t say that. Instead, the people complaining, from friends and family who expected something out of me over the holiday weekend, were unhappy at my lack of appeasement of their wishes. And that comes down to my very rigorous schedule and people who clearly don’t respect it. I don’t make time for people who have let me down. And when I get to that point with people, I don’t even care enough to explain it to them. I drop them, never to look back, and many people find that unsettling. But to answer the statement that was brought up to me, that I am so hated that when I die, nobody will come to my funeral, I say, that is fine. I don’t lower my standards for anybody, and if nobody comes to my funeral, which I have no plan to attend anytime soon, I’m okay with that. I don’t think it’s important to be liked in the world because to do so, you have to compromise to the weaknesses of others. I’d rather be alone in the world and have nobody come to my funeral than to lower my standards in any way.
And to that point, I have instructed my wife that should such a day ever occur, to burn my body and disperse it somewhere so people can’t spit on my grave and have access to me in any compromised way. I don’t talk about it much. People wonder what it’s like to be as opinionated as I am, and how it works out. I would say it isn’t easy at best. But it all comes down to expectations, how people manage their lives, and whether I choose to make time for them when they want me to. But here’s the thing: nothing is done in the world that I don’t understand, especially regarding people. I know all the causes and effects of why people do what they do. Nothing surprises me. I see through every scheme, deceit, and misplaced non-verbal communication. I know everything they try to hide from the world, every wart on a person. Call it a gift I have from God. To what purpose can I use it to some good enterprise? It would be easy to abuse that talent. It takes quite a lot of discipline to keep a skill like that pointed toward justice. But when you have that ability, people can’t snowball you. And when it comes to family engagements, where many people just haven’t lived very good lives, and as a result, they aren’t very good people, I see and understand why they do everything they have done and they shouldn’t expect a free pass from me.
I genuinely let people live their lives the way they want to. But when they show me they don’t care what their actions do to my loyalty, I show them that I care so little for them that I’ll drop them off the earth without a second thought. That is a long-standing policy I have, and it wouldn’t bother me if it resulted in nobody coming to my funeral or inviting me to do things. However, that is not the case; I have too many people in the world who want me to do things with them, and my phone never stops receiving text messages and emails from someone wanting something from me. But the same thing has been happening to my immediate family, and the kind of advice I give them about people in the world. When my family members ask me what I think of this and that, I tell them. I tell them everything, and it turns out to be painfully right every time. And that makes people trying to do bad things in the world very upset that they can’t operate in the shadows, because I so easily shine light on everything. And when they can’t manipulate people I care about easily, they get angry with me for removing the illusion they have built their lives around. I don’t go out of my way to do it. But if I’m asked, I tell it all. And it’s always right. Call it a gift from God. And I use it effectively and in the way that God designed a skill like that. But saying that, I’m not like Jesus, I don’t turn the other cheek on anything. I carry grudges for decades and never get over things when bad things have been done to me. And I’m not about to start doing so.
There is a long line of very parasitic people. I would say most people are. And when people I care about ask me what I think, and I warn them to watch out for people who want to associate with them because they want to loot off their essence, because they are good people and those looters aren’t good people, to beware that they don’t take your soul away from you. Always manage the eternal component of yourself with the understanding that you can’t undo a compromised self. And when people try to control people I care about, and my advice keeps it from happening, there will be a lot of anger. Tough tootles. If you don’t want the ramifications of that behavior, don’t do the behavior. But there is nothing I don’t know about human nature. And I have no cell in my body that seeks to appease people who have done bad things. So if that upsets people, I don’t care. I never forget. I do hold things against people. And I don’t turn the other cheek only to have it slapped again. And if that makes me a bad person, I would say that the value system of the people who feel that way is all messed up. Of course, a log being burned in the fire thinks the fire is evil. I can live with that because there are a lot of people who have made themselves worthless so that they can easily be tossed into the fire to be burnt up and disposed of without a thought in the world. And that might upset them. But I genuinely don’t care. People who have done bad things to themselves, I don’t forgive. And I don’t ignore it when they’ve done it to me and people I care about. Too many people have lived bad lives, made bad decisions, and wished to hide those things by associating with good people to keep their conduct concealed with mass collectivism. But that doesn’t work with me. Never forget, I see everything. I can read the contents of people’s souls, and I know what’s really there and I use that information with great success in life. That might make people very angry that I can do that. But they can only blame themselves for being bad people. You can’t hide it with money. With community service. Or snacks at a family gathering. I don’t have a tolerance for bad people, and yes, I do judge and judge often. I never signed up for this stupid notion of not judging people. That is a dumb political position created by bad people to hide their conduct from the world. I have the opposite view. I judge and hold it against people forever. And that might seem unfair to people who are too far gone. But they should have thought about that before they went there. Don’t be a bad person, and we’ll get along just fine.
