Welcome to Eriskay's World

It's so important to communicate.  Without  communication, this world of ours would be akin to the tower of Babel.  There would be no understanding between individuals and countries.  I always make it a point to state what is on my mind or what will help another individual.  This is especially helpful with friends, co-workers and employers.  Although some people don't like it.

Others are secretive by nature or something has occurred in their background, growing up, to make them that way.   Then, there are the others who  are deceitful and communication is just not part of their vocabulary.

  These are the takers, people who never give others a thought.  It's all about them and how they are going to benefit.  They won't answer a question put to them, right away.  It may even take months.  Why?  They like to be in control.  They are thinking down the road for themselves. What if they suddenly want to go somewhere or do

something in a particular montth, Well, they won't give you the

answer until they know when they have finalized their plans.   It's a last minute answer and not helpful to the party who has asked the question months in advance  and has repeatedly followed up by asking the same question.. 

They also demand things of others that they would never even consider letting those same people do to them.  They can also be religious. I don't mean truly religious but it's a nice cover for them.  They can dry at the drop of a hat but I suspect that their bladders are too near their eyes.   They will use family to get what they want. It can be a parent who has been dying for years but seems to miraculously  recover again and again.  And they will plead poverty in order for people to feel sorry for them and give them what they want. They also have no concept of time - only when it pertains to them.

I have no time or respect for these people.  They are selfish, greedy and manipulative.  They are like leeches.  What makes it worse is that they get away with it.  The only one who will pull them up is the person asking the question.  Now, why do they get away with it?  I'm told it's because another party  does not like change.  It's the devil they know to the devil they don't know.  That is a very scary concept, especially when the devil they know is  abusive.  And, all who know  them are aware of it.  In the meantime, the other party speaks out but no one is listening. Complacency is what brought about the holocost.

People did not speak out.

These people will lie without thought, It comes naturally to them.  Then, when they are caught in the lie, they will just deny  it.      They know everything and others' opinions do not count unless it's in line with theirs.  I believe these people have no conscience.  You can't call what they do , mistakes, not when those "mistakes" have been pointed out to them, and they keep doing them, regardless.  

That's why communication is so important.  You will come across people like I described, above, in your every day life.  Don't let them fool you.  They are very narccastistic and will try and step on you, if you let them.   One day this will all end for them and they will blame others for the mess they are in .  In the meantime , communicate all that you can and  don't give up hope.
