Somebody's said it succinctly: You can fool all the people some of the time, some of the people all the time, but not all the people all of the time. There is an individual who keeps trying to play me and a whole many others for a fool, while pretending to be an innocent victim of circumstances. In their head they probably think they are successful in their gimmicks. And they probably are with many gullibles. I watch with amusement as I see them try their tricks and gymnastics, now buttering A, now polishing B, now dancing with C, now trying to cover up their manipulative games with me.

If there is one thing that disgusts me more than anything else, that is ass kissing. I can spot the BS from a mile away before it has started to stink. What I don't really get is whether people don't spot it or they don't mind it or they use it to further their own game or... something else? I personally can't stomach it. Just watching makes me gag. Another option is people see through it but they have developed the ability to ignore it and get on with their own life. I am trying to develop that ability. Problem is, I can't tolerate deceit and ignoring something just because it won't affect me personally is hard to do. I trust that these kinds of characters will fall into the pits of their own making eventually. They wouldn't rely on these tactics if they had substance of their own... it's a question of how long till everyone notices it’s all empty within.
