Random Thought Of The Day #27

Day 27

What ever happened to good old honesty? Integrity? Saying what you mean and meaning what you say? Being specific?

When did we all start hiding behind vague generalities and cloudy expressions of thought with multiple interpretations and no clue as to the proper one?

When did double-speak become the norm? How hard is it to really just say what you know and what you feel and move on with your life?

When was the last time a guy and girl could know each other and both be happy because one said to the other "I like you. I find you interesting, attractive, and engaging. I'd like to take you out on a date. Would you go out on a date with me?".

When did that become unacceptable and become replaced by some vague and undefined concept of "hanging out" and throwing the trappings of dating in with it but continuing to cling to this fuzzy conceptual situation?

When did it become acceptable to accept the unearned? When did people start feeling "entitled"? When did feelings start mattering more than truth?

When will we start being rational again?

One day, people will again learn that words have an exact meaning and that it's time we started accepting them and dealing with each other on the terms of those exact meanings.

Or maybe, I was simply born a century too late.
