Have you ever stood in the middle of a decision, deciding if
you would be a good person or just let the crap fly where it will? At times you
know things about the background story that no one else seems to be aware of
and you could end the whole darn mess? How long do you stay in the state of
“should I or shouldn’t I”?
if you have been privy to a confidence or know someone’s
colourful past you know about this. It is difficult to step back and let a
story take on a life of their own. When do you keep your lips buttoned and
watch the drama production around you?
A good friend asked me these questions the other day. She
had known a colleague for many years, through numerous silent facelifts, calf
and butt implants, habitual spending and many other self-gratifying displays
that were varied and frightening. This person however is not a criminal, a
pervert, an adulterer or a liar. She is actually, a rather nice person. Today,
she presents as a fit, good looking got my sh*t together middle-aged person. My
friend’s concern to me was that she was tempted to set the story straight.
In other words, she asked if she has the right and/or
obligation to speak negatively about this person?
