Thoughts for the day: #1, On inconstancy.

Just because what she said then she now contradicts completely doesn't mean she was any less sincere then, or believes in what she says or does now any less.

Sometimes, that's hard. But it isn't any less true.

Never the less, it's that sort of thing that keeps me smiling about the fact that I date men. Or, frowning because I don't as the case may be. Whichever.

Honey, men don't do this any less than women.

You think? When I've encountered this in men (and to make this weird, it's only been w/my father) they simply refuse to admit any inconsistency at all. And then we all sublimate happily ever after.

Oh, I do think...and that they don't admit the inconsistency merely makes it more likely that we don't remember, or bow to their rewriting of events.

But they do it as often, but have different coping mechanisms for it. Just wait until you date one of those :)

Given the choice, I'd rather have a friend (in my approach, partners are a subset of friends) who admitted to inconsistency than one who insisted that we had always been at war with Eastasia.

This reference just made me smile.
