Some Bad, Human Habits

 

Poor Marmaduke, being scolded for his human's bad habits. So very, very unfair! I know it may be tempting to do something like that, because it's part of the human nature to look for another "culprit" than the one that meets one's gaze in the mirror. 

Alas, that's the way of the world, unless you take one step out of the hamster mill that, at least in some respects, constitutes the life of most of us. Most children who were asked whether he or she wanted to be a part of such a future would decline the offer and point to other options like e.g. becoming a rich and famous rap-star, an astronaut, or maybe an overpaid politician. The good worker who is toiling day by day isn't the ideal of most people. What they dream of is a life of leisure and pleasure, which include riches beyond belief as well as fame, which has attained a stronghold of many dreamy minds these years. 

 

I know, and it's damn annoying! Nobody who knew me would take me for a tRump-fan. How could I, when he is a genuine crook in actions as well as in plans and ideas? However, there is ONE thing about him, that I understand, although I don't condone it. I see how he could choose his many blatant lies as well as tall stories over the historic truth that literally can't be denied by normal, decent people: It's pleasant to the lazy and callous mind .... 

 

Of course, he gets angry and feel betrayed when he is being fact-checked by some "nasty" individual who don't comply with those lies that flatter his ego. No matter what proofs of the difference between truth and lies, he has his own alternative truth. To make such a choice in one's personal scheme of things, which even is accepted by one's many (deluded!!!) fans, simply must make all of one's toiling worthwhile. "Shrug it off" might be his motto.
