Fake......who do they think they are fooling ???

I am going off of my usual platform for a post to vent a little.  So bear with me on this one.  If there is one thing that I cannot stand....It is people who are fake.  I mean we all have our own faults, but this just drives me insane.  I know a few people who fit this profile, but there is one in particular who drives me insane.  This person will not be known by anybody but my wife who reads this blog.  I was in close contact with this person for about a year, but the more I got to know this person.....the more I realized that I wanted to distance myself from them.  At first this person came off as a super good person.  Seemed to be a good parent, donated time and money to causes, acted like they were your friend.  This person also has an online platform....and brags about these things.  Does this not take the merrit out of doing good things ???  Is a person geniunely a good person, and have good intentions if they have to seek recognition for doing them ???  I don't think so.  A good person does things only for the satisfaction of making themselves feel good.....and more importantly the person/people that they are helping.
I consider myself to be really good at reading people.  This is both a blessing and a curse.  My wife noticed this and pointed it out shortly after we were married.  I can almost always tell when somebody I know has something going on.
Anyways, back to the venting.  I slowly started seeing signs of the major faults that this person had.  I tried to look past them, but when a person is not a good person....they are just not a good person.  I also have never met a person who is more bi-polar in my life.  You would never know if you were getting Dr. Jekyl...or Mr. Hyde.  One day seeing them it would be a big smile, talk your ear off...and they were your best friend.  The next it would be "Man what did I ever do wrong."  I mean....don't get me wrong, we all have our good days and bad days, but not like this person.  I am not the first person to notice this either.  I have spoken with multiple other people who noticed the drastic mood changes, and have also distanced themselves from this person.  Bottom line is....Surround yourself with good people...it will make your life SO much better.  Poisoneous people are not good to be around.  The person that you are on Sunday should be the same person that you are on Mon,Tues, Wed, Thurs, Fri, Sat.  When you are changing those people that are close to you on a monthly/weekly basis....this should tell you that you are doing something wrong.
Surround yourself with people who are good.  Life is too short.

Thanks for letting me vent.  Next, I promise to get back to the things that help me enjoy life....The Great Outdoors !!!!!
