ISSUES, who's not got them?

It was funny, literally in the Ha ha sense. It's become a weekly thing with my freind in the states. Every Sunday I'll pick up the phone and give her a holler, or she'll be online and the girlfreind session begins. The important thing is the last conversation we had. It so occured that the particular gentleman in her life became a has been. After stringing her along, he came to the conclusion that they were undergoing the same problems as a result of he's "issues". And that it would be unfair of him to put her through all this pain, while he was still working through he's issues. Eh? Unfortunately that sounded too familiar. It was like a vile flash back come to haunt me, except the character roles were being played by other people! But I could have sworn...Why was it, so I cast my mind into the recesses it avoids like a local driver on a lumpy road in Nairobi. It appears that there is a book somewhere, under the chapter title " It's not you it's me, I care for you too much to hurt you" that has been read and dutifully studied by a couple of chaps! And that's the diatribe they dish out when all in all the basic truth...Look I'm not that into you, but I want to make sure that you're still hanging about with enough pity to ensure pity sex!!!

Well then! Here's my response:
The truth is simple in it's ugliness, brutall in it's clarity and yet painfully healing. The longer a chap strings along a girl, the odds are that one day he;ll knock on that door and it will be her delightful pleasure to open it only so that she can slam it in he's face with decadent glee! Any body parts that get caught in the kerfuffle are a bonus!

Everyone has issues, life is one big issue, and when one has sorted their issues, made their money, got their degree, got their grand job, written the great American novel, run the great race, come to grips with their own genious...But the truth of the matter is after all that..THEN WHAT? pick up the peices of life that were put on pause whilst pursuing the great issue. Andwhile life is on pause, everybody elses life has moved on. Freinds have gotten married, the pet gerbil up and died, best freinds have had two kids and are settled into a disgusting contenment with life. But funny, not so ha ha, how all these people have had issues and life has gone on and they've held on. So what makes their issues less important and grand? What makes it ok to put someone on a leash and leave them hanging and waiting? Don't even say, they should be smarter and know better... because when it comes to issues of the heart, it's not alright to wantonly hurt someone, it's not OK to be a coward, it wasn't called Brave Heart, the word encourage has it's origin in the french word meaning to have heart! So deal with it! Step up and quite being a TWAT! After all, tempting Karma is like courting disaster, it may take years, it may take a night, but it will bite back. And then what?
