On a darker note...

What the hell is wrong with people? We've got pedophiles in congress, people shooting at the Amish, and husbands out cheating on their wives. I watched "Hotel Rowanda" and almost couldn't finish watching it because it was just so hard to believe that people can be that mean and hateful to other people. I have spent the majority of my life trying to believe the best in people but sometimes, my faith is shaken. People do horrible things and then blame it either on alcohol abuse or a tortured childhood. I am sure that those two things do not help when you are trying to become a well adjusted person but people have to take responsiblity at some point for their own lives.
Everything that glitters isn't necessarily gold. I think everyone tries to put on a good front to make it look like their lives are peachy. I have never learned to be mysterious and private. I pretty much share just about everything that is going on in my life. Others, however, do not. That is why it always comes as a surprise when a seemingly happy couple falls apart due to infidelity or whatever. I know its hard to share problems with others sometimes because people can be judgemental. I don't like it when someone tells me what I should do with my life so I don't usually give advice unless I am asked. I would love to tell women that if their spouse cheats on them, kick them to the curb. However, being on the outside looking in, it's easy for me to say. Each person has to look inside themselves and make up their own mind. Do you stay together for convenience and hope he never does it again or do you cut and run? There isn't only anger to deal with but there is also hurt and maybe a little longing to just forget about it. Tough stuff for sure.
As for Foley, who was caught sending inappropriate emails to young boys and now blames it on alcohol and being molested when he was younger, get over yourself! It's really sad that you were molested when you were younger(if that's true) but it's no excuse. The chain has to be broken. He has a problem and he needs to deal with it and take responsibility for his actions.
I'm not sure where I am going with any of this but I needed to vent.
