My mum just called me a "child" and "immature".
I didn't like how some of our neighbours were coercing us into organizing things and I admittedly, cryptically said something nasty on facebook.
I wanted to tell them in an indirect manner they were hardly being the "nice, friendly" people they keep making themselves out to be.
My parents told me to delete them and frowned upon my actions.
They said we needed "friends" or rather scumbags, no matter how fake or ingenuine they were; and it was the whole "politics" of "i scratch your back, you scratch mine".
I find this analogy rather fitting, because we are actually behaving like animals, or perhaps even worse than them.
Animals don't lie. They don't cheat others or lie or use others other for personal gains. They don't play games of false pretenses. In fact they are extremely honest and direct - they protect who they love and are mercenary to their enemies.
In the human world, your actual enemies can be your "friends" which I find so wonderfully ironic.
My mother told me I had to "learn to play the game" since everyone has favourites, which is a sad fact of life.
However, I dislike that this is actually going against what my parents taught me.
They wanted me to be true to myself, and find friends that actually love and appreciate me, genuine ones and not bitches who will backstab me and make me cry.
It is because of these values, I actually managed to find quite a few people who enjoy my company, people I can even trust my life with. I'm happy to spend my time with them, and as cheesy as it sounds, friendship is truly one of life's joys. I have people I can rely on, people who won't back out on me.
I know it's naive to be so honest with one's feelings but I can't help but think that all adults happen to hypocrites, and that sadly, I'll probably turn into as one of them as well.
