Family Dysfunctions

This is a hard one to swallow, it's like opening Pandora's Box. I noticed a lot families that consider themselves socialites or high society so to speak, don't like to admit that they have issues. If you were born in such a family you either had 1 of 2 choices, rebel or follow suit. You either got to wear the snobbish robe or be the asshole or jerk everyone wants to sabotage by saying you're nuts and influence others against. To keep the family secrets on lock down, some harsh things are done and said at the expense of this so called asshole or jerk. Let's just call this person a heckler in reverse. You see, even though they seem to rock the boat, they're actually trying to fix the broke down motherfucker.There's so much dust on top of issues that's been swept under rugs, even termites can't chew through them and breathe at the same time. The sad thing is, they think everything is running smoothly and long as you keep your mouth shut. When the truth is the whole damn family is headed towards the likes of a titanic tragedy due to improper navigation at the hands of a captain and crew(head of the family and elders) who cannot admit wrong doing and will throw your ass to the sharks before they do. I say let them throw you off and save yourself. For it is better to be eaten alive by sharks than your own people.

So here I am today wondering how old and bad habits survive generation after generation and no one dares to break the cycle of such destructive, traditional, ill fated pride and behavior. I'm wondering how those that follow and occasionally speak against things , which is acknowledging their awareness, continue to fall back in with fear they call respect rather than have the courage to set a better example by showing them a better or even right way? Even if the right way doesn't feel as pretty, earn you favor points it should certainly feel good to YOU. It should certainly earn you some respect. So knowing I will never fully understand the ways of a coward, I also will always prefer to be the heckler than the follower. I will always choose the truth over the illusion which destines us to delusion. Skeletons in the closet rattling in the descendants rooms years down the line keep them disturbed and in utter confusion about who they are and what they represent.Let those issues out the box and deal with them before they blow up in your faces. Let's not go to our graves knowing we've left our people in bondage!
