Maybe it's me

I love to read. I read all kinds of things. The voyeur in me loves to read what other people have to say about themselves, life and all kinds of things. I read a lot of what is posted on 43things. There, people talk about their lives and issues that are important to them. I can read through a person' entries and have a pretty good idea what kind of person they are.

What amazes me in all the reading I do is that people don't even realize the answers to their own problems are in the behaviors and choices they make. I am amazed at the people who choose to roll in the mud, as it were, and wonder why they are dirty. These days there are a few who read my drivel so I won't give examples as I don't want to offend. But one I cannot resist. This person admits to lying all the time. They claim to lie to everyone about big and small things. In another post, this person is shocked and saddened by the amount of theft that occurs where they work. Maybe I am making a connection where there is none but the way I see things, lying and stealing are leaves on the same branch. Why is one okay and the other not?
Also, the place this person works is not the kind of place that attracts the best people. The whole point of this place is devoted to largely immoral behaviour and yet they are surprised when people that come there are immoral and steal. Duh!

I don't have a view that I am all right and they are wrong. I have made my fair share of mistakes and still do. But when I have problems, I am aware enough to trace the source of the problem back to a decision I made.
