Aunty Acid by Ged Backland for October 20, 2023

Yep.

You can’t please everyone.

not only the evil one, but the stupid too… (and recently this seems to be mom’s favorite bedtime story)

Almost always true.

I’m evil in “somesone’s” story? I can live with that as long as “somesone” doesn’t have me arrested.

Don’t admit anything!

Skruem.

That’s the given assumption of the Devil’s Advocate.

It’s like the old saying: “One’s man hero is another man’s villain.”

Ho Hum.

….must be human nature.

“Could it be S A T A N?”

True, that. Late with one little alimony payment and your evil straight outta Compton. For reals.

Yeah, those sones are mean… ☺

Apostle Paul says he has to please the Lord and no one else.

Very true, Auntie. I did a lot of marriage counseling over my 40 year career in mental health, and I can vouch for the fact that though they live through the same events and know the same facts, two people can have very different interpretations of those facts and their respective motivations and actions.

You seem to have the horns of a dilemma.

I’m sure “Mother Theresa” had her bad points (???)

I was so “evil” to someone, that they complained to the rec center and got me dismissed from my volunteer position. Then the same person complained because they cancelled the program I led, due to not being able to find someone else to do the program. I won’t have anything to do with that person or the rec center anymore. Does that make me evil still?

For some people, making you/me the villain helps to justify what they are doing. They don’t have to admit they are wrong if they can blame someone else.

Every villain is the hero of his own story.

Yep…this is the truth!

So true
