...eventually. But in the meantime, there are enough weird things that are happening to speed the process up. I'm not talking about a natural disaster, a plane crash, or anything of that magnitude. I'm referring to something a little closer to home. To be specific, I'm referring to how some people 'are'. I find it really interesting and slightly disturbing, to watch as people go through personality changes. You know, like one minute you know someone then "poof" they morph into something else. Even more peculiar when mutual friends make the same observation. Makes you wonder how much effort does it take to pretend to be something that they're not? Isn't it a waste of energy to put on a show just to garner the approval of others? Does the word 'humility' mean anything to this person anymore? Has it ever meant anything to them? Hmmm....shameful and embarrassing are the only words that I can think of that would sum up much of the behavior I've seen come from this individual. But, like discipling a small child, we should continue to ignore those 'undesirable' behaviors and give attention to the positive ones, only.
I can boldly say, given my profession, I am a very good judge of character and an even better judge of spotting phoniness when it makes itself known. It's probably best to just ignore the negative and encourage the positive out of this person. Annoying? Sure, but it's even sadder to see how delusional they are. Maybe one day, they'll come back to reality. But in the meantime, it was nice knowing them when they were 'real'.
