Just came in from cleaning out the driveway of more than a foot of snow accumulation. Took slightly more than an hour but the job got done even while more than an inch an hour continues pounding our area.
And while I was out there experiencing an almost mantra frame of mind while finding harmony between man and the elements did I find myself being reminded of the double standards as exhibited by the Western New York Paranormal and Spiritual community.
Double standards like it’s ok to use your groups name through more than eight different sites but it’s not ok when you complain about it because after all, we would never take your sites name from you.
Scratching head on that one.
Then there are those who are caught red handed slandering you publicly where should you decide to defend yourself everybody takes the side of the people who attacked you like you deserved it even while minding your own business.
“Bartender” another double please.
And to imagine the audacity of the schmuck who dared throw in my face that I bitch about other people when all I am really doing is just once more defending myself against the rampant idiocy found in this region.
They expect me to remain silent over how they treat their victims so as not to tarnish their reputations while their own behaviors are usually thousands of times worse.
Take for example the letter I just received. In it was detailed how a so called loving and knowledgeable older woman in the local community who after having shook hands with a male paranormal investigator had then proceeded “warning” everyone in the Buffalo and Rochester community about the individual just because she didn’t like his handshake!
Of course I also received a chastising over my having spoken out against this same woman who the letter claimed was all about sharing and caring when in reality my experience had shown me she was someone who was all about power and control in running everything “her” way. And yet once more the double standard comes to play.
But to imagine anyone taking it upon themselves to ruin someone else’s reputation over a handshake in the real world says far worse of them than the guy with a wimpy wrist and grip.
I could go on and on describing the many losses this warm hearted community has waged in creating severe financial losses for those which should be held in higher regard instead of the ones who if it were not for their ruthlessness would be nothing in this community. It would involve a list of characters even Hollywood or Disney could never have created on their own covering the paranormal right on through the Wiccan and New Age community.
Problem is should ever the truth be revealed on the local level in time such people would only be replaced by a newer and perhaps even worse cast of characters.
Dumb, Dumber, Dumbest.
So the local problem Children can and will continue so that you the public can explore and make your own discoveries of these hidden treasures of humanity much like within Pandora’s Box which are just waiting to enshroud your mind and darken your heart against anyone they oppose.
Because we are after all human.
Well, at least some of us.
