This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

You've seriously got the wrong idea about me and what I was trying to say to you. I'm not trying to elevate liars, just people, versus the worthlessness of lies and petty truths that aren't helful.

You have suffered because you are too wrapped-up in one of the Three Sieves of Socrates . Most lies aren't worth calling out because doing so is not kind or helpful - particularly the lies that good people tell themselves to get through the day.

I never said you should or had to lie to get by, be a good person, or have a full understanding. I won't even pretend I'm too wrapped-up in the concept of trying to be a good person, BUT, the wicked man still knows what goodness looks like, and I personally dis-like watching good people suffer, almost as much as I dis-like watching "good" people disparage others over something that basically amounts to LOUDLY MIS-UNDERSTANDING THINGS.
