...Since when is it good to be friendly with bad people? Since when is winking at their wrongdoing a virtue?
Perhaps someone can quote chapter and verse in the comments, because holier-than-thous really deserve to have their religion's true teachings show what frauds their twisting of religious doctrine makes them. In the New Testament, in Revelations, I believe, in one of the letters to the churches, some holier-than-thou Christians are read the riot act for that very same pretense.
The author unloads both barrels at them with this truth: "Good people are not lukewarm toward evil" it says.
Cowards are.
Loving good is hating evil. And vice versa. Love is an attraction; hate a repulsion. But that is too simple for complex people to understand.
Now I am not saying that we must reject everyone not perfect, for then we would reject everyone, including ourselves. But decent people need no instruction. There is a point at which behavior becomes predatory and malicious - a point at which one is morally obligated to separate themselves from that person.
You thus take away a bad actor's safety in numbers. You show disapproval. You discourage others from behaving the same way. You comfort the victim by showing him or her that the pain caused them by the bad guy matters to you.
Is any of that evil?
It's just a way of discouraging the harm the bad guy is doing others by showing that you want nothing to do with someone who hurts others like that.
Where is the sin in that, pray tell? Sounds like fine, upstanding conduct to me.
Jesus of Nazareth spoke of this when he said that "indecent conduct" is a special case and justification for divorce even. At the time, the terms "indecent" or "lewd" conduct simply meant "lowdown" or "despicable" conduct of any sort.
And that statement of his, qualifying his disapproval of divorce, is just common sense.
Why? Let's say you are married to a Mafia boss. Is it right for you live in his big fancy house, being waited on by his hired staff? Is it right for you to PROFIT from the crimes he commits and ther damage he does to people?
To the contrary: it is immoral for you not to divorce him when you find out what he is.
The same people who make a virtue of "accepting" abusive narcissists, relentlessly persecute anyone for any hint of racism or sexism. THAT they won't tolerate. They wouldn't DREAM of tolerating anything politically incorrect like that.
But though they know and believe that the narcissist has brutally abused you, they see no reason to show any disapproval of that.
Hmmm. Whom do they think they're fooling?
They make nothing of that narcissist's abuse of you. They countenance it.
If instead they rejected the narcissist, they would be doing the one small thing they could to get on the right side, the victim's side.
But they abandon the victim and smile in the abuser's face.
Not so holy as they pretend.

so on thursday I danced with another trumpeter --Jared-- hes a year younger and kind of nerd looking but hes so nice and funny. Anyways chris found out i danced with jared and apparently was not happy about it; apparently afterwards on thursday chris told jared he didnt 'like that and to not do it again'. Needless to say friday night when I went to dance with jared and was told that I almost went up and screamed at chris while he was playing. but i didnt. afterwards in the car on the way to the after party i asked chris about it and thankfully he told me the truth. he apologized and said it was because 'he was jealous that he couldnt dance with me'. ok i understand that but wtf he should have told me that not jared! so that kind of ruined the after party. he could tell something was bugging me and i just said nothing when finaly when we were leaving he grabbed me and made me look at him and asked what was wrong. I flat out said "that jackass move of yours wasnt fair" he didnt know what i ment until i said jared. and then he started apologizing....
and then today on msn he tried explaining it to me but im still not happy about it. but i guess i forgave him and hes going to aplogize to jared on monday. But i think he's mad at me for wanting him to do that because he doesnt like jared at all (not just because of the dancing thing)....o then today he was supposed to come to the football game (the city championships, which we won) but he didnt end up coming cause him and cimone and deboer had to go shopping. wow w/e. and then tonight he was supposed to call me. but he didnt so at 8:30 i called him and he had some excuse about family and stuff im like uhh k...thanks for taking a minute to let me know...
this is gay. last night i told him i loved him and now this is what im getting. wow. oh and to top it off its our 2 month anniversary. yay...
wow maybe im over doing this? maybe its not a big deal...
oh ha last night my wrestling sweater went missing. i was so freaked/pissed/upset... but i later found out another guy took it by mistake.

when changes happened & we are not comfortable, we give excuses.
when rainy day & we are late, we give excuses.
when we've talked badly, we give excuses.
when we are bad in mood, we give excuses.
when we felt the day went unusually, we give excuses.
we give many excuses, just to stop ourselves to step forward.
when will we give no excuses & just tell our mind, "Shut up, just do it!" ?
when is the right timing, right place & right people?
there's no always we have right timing, right place & right people. but
there's always we can have right mindset.
just do it. stay focus, move forward.
