SHOULD NOT THE WRITER TELL THE TRUTH?
"There will always be conflict in human affairs because of the simple fact that I'm hungry and you're thirsty. I want to sleep when you want to get up, I want to go let when you want to go right. The issue isn't conflict itself, but how to deal with it." --Riane Eister
A writer worth his salt is one who has a cause and a purpose--to look for and speak the truth. How do you deal with a writer who has been caught lying so many times the blogger lost count in his lying business?
Why the deliberate telling of false statements and conclusions? In the blogger's case, was it to impugn our integrity as writer The blogger is exasperated, yet he tries to understand the little minds.
But is not getting angry at their actuation a sign of weakness? Must the blogger descend to their level and be like foul-mouthed fishwives?

For ass-kissers like them, truth is not important as long as what they're doing will please their benefactor. They refuse to see and tell the truth as lying had been their way of life ever since. What could we expect from pseudo-writers?
ReplyDeleteThe blogger is bewildered sometimes. They know how we exerted efforts so the magazine could move on. Not even a word of gratitude.
