Words and Deeds

People who care about me often admonish me for flying off the handle when encountering the inconsistency between words and deeds. They remind me that such an attitude is like complaining that shit stinks. Everybody knows that fact and accepts its truism and why shouldn't I do likewise, they rhetorically ask me. Am I stupid or what, they further query. They laugh at me for naively expecting a congruence between words and deeds. They solemnly tell me that even a child knows that everybody lies, that everybody wants to show off and look good, that assholes love to pontificate and never admit defeat even faced with overwhelming evidence and irrefutable logic.
