Vacuous Statements

Women have truly been the bane of my existence; I have a perpetual love hate relationship with them – the love part being highly fueled by primal desire; the hate fueled by the fizzling of that desire. I have found over the years that most women should never be held to their word, although they may argue that at the time, in the moment they said what they meant, and meant what they said – but women are as predictable as the weather and vacillate with such frequency that it becomes dizzying.  And therein lies the problem, when one allows themselves to become emotionally invested in someone, and believes wholeheartedly their words, and turns a blind eye to their pattern of behaviour, ignores prior actions; invariably one sets up oneself for that earth shattering let down - love hate relationship. Words can be so flowery, sweet to the ear, because it is what you want to hear, perhaps even what you need to hear at the time, but as cliche as it sounds, actions truly do speak louder. Some years ago I wrote something to the effect that we don't always get what we want, but we always get what we need...even when we're blind to our own needs. Trust none of what they say, observe everything they do...give them just enough of you that it doesn't matter when they leave, because inevitably they all leave.
