Benifisense (or: Benefit of... my ass!)
I am sick and goddamn tired of giving people the "benefit of the doubt." What the fuck does that mean, anyway? How is a doubt a benefit? What benevolence does doubt bestow?*
I am often told that I am "too forgiving" of the "faults of others." When such faults are pointed out, I tend to murmur mitigating factors. At first, I fail to see fault clearly, then I explain it away.
This goes for myself as well as others. I see and then sublimate, overamplify, fail to correct, ignore, rationalize, eqivocate my own faults, real or imagined.
Who am I to be so benevolent to those who are so full of themselves?
Knowing is half the battle?
* I understand the colloquialism, bitch. Just bear with me. Give me the benefit of a doubt.
