(An Irrevelent Rant of An Ambiguous Old Man) ... In the itinerary of human events, the one who speaks first is often looked upon
as the one who is telling the truth.
This fallacy of human mentality allows the gifted to shape and manipulate
the truth. Shaped truth blinds the eyes to the real truth, it is an evil that first manifested itself in the Garden of Eden and gave birth to an insidious evil known as sibling rivalry thereby causing one brother to kill the other.
One of the most damnable aspects
of sibling rivalry is that it allows one party to create a false characterization
of its victims that others are drawn into and it becomes impossible to defend against. Sibling rivalry uses a distortion of reality and draws others into
its distorted reality and soon this distorted reality began to masquerade as
the truth. The manipulation is subtle
and relies upon provable facts or variables.
Any attempt to disprove these manipulated facts by the accused is often met
with the accusation of the accused being a great liar.
A young man graduated from high
school in the early sixties, unable to
find a college or the funding needed, attended a low class business college for
two semesters before dropping out and joining the Air Force. This young man was told by his nephew nearly
forty years later, "my father dislikes you because your mother and daddy
did more for you that they did for him.
They sent you to college, and you got a college degree. He told about how hard his father had to work,
while he wasted the day playing. The story continued with more and more
creative details added. The only truth or
reality of this encounter was, he was standing in the street talking to his
nephew, the rest he had no knowledge of what he was talking about.
Sibling rivalry is based upon the
concept that the person whom the anger is directed at is a liar and is stupid. Once these two elements are firmly entrenched
in the mind of others, the "he doesn't know what he is talking about syndrome",
or "you can't tell him anything", become the standard bearer to a painful distorted and disrupted life. There is no known defense against this type of Character assassination.
Often we cater to the idiocricity of others, in an asinine attempt to predicate our inner demons, thereby rendering our assessment of a given situation totally irrelevant. If the followers of Jesus had deemed John the Baptist to be nothing but a wild man running in the woods half naked, they would have missed out on a beautiful and life changing experience.
