Faking Love and Understanding
Apparently, it’s pretty easy, even when openly sniping about people letting cracks of your true brash ugly self show.
I had a cousin. She admitted to me and one other, at one point, that her personality is harsh and mean. Yet she has books coaching others on how to be kind.
It amazes me.
I asked her a question the other day. She somehow replaced where I said ‘it’ (referring to a technology she is working with), with ‘you’ (referring to her), when I said it has me too scared to even submit my application cos I fear it will decide I copied my information. Because AI is new and unreliable, among other reasons to justify this belief. And because she had just spent the previous night drilling fear into me that it will mark you as copying even when you haven’t.
I did not say she was saying I copied anything, but she went off on me and threw me away so easily like I meant nothing at all. Even after I pointed out I said it, not her. She proceeded to block me in every way and publicly post about it.
How can a person like that have a big following for teaching others how to be kind and understand one another?
So many fake it, too, not just her. We have really reached a point where ideology matters more than being human, and being humane.
