Still looking at the three sides of the bill. . .
However I look at it, ever since, I thought the world was fair, and it is. It’s so fair that it doesn’t matter who you are. When it plays with you, you’re fucked, unless you know how to handle the situation quite well. I’m too nice that i’m so vulnerable to con artists, but I am too nice that nobody actually duped me, until a few days ago that is.
We’ve been bestfriends for years, I knew something about his family but I disregarded it because I trust people easily. The funny thing is that, people claim that this guy’s a thief, I hold no negative thoughts for him though. I know for a fact that he’s a liar, irresponsible, but he’s somewhat a trustworthy person and a good friend, maybe i’m the only one who he considers his only friend because i’m the only one that actually doesn’t judge him. As for his mom, the one who duped me for the universal solvent, which is actually money, i’ve done a background check after I got duped. She had three husbands, has one beautiful daughter (who’s actually intelligent, also beautiful like her, when she was younger anyway) and a son (my bestfriend). I think I heard his son say that his biological father died because of her, because he gave everything to her, all the material things he had that his heart and body actually gave up on him (he’s chinese, by the way). I heard my officemates that know her say that she sold her daughter at age 14, they said never to trust her and go through with the transaction (but I already did). I actually paid her a downpayment for the house and lot she offered me, turns out she just wanted the money and never intended to give anything to me, at least she won’t get any more. She could’ve just asked for it and I would’ve given the money to her, the universal solvent is overrated anyway (so overrated that even I overrate it). But she didn’t, she decided to fool me, she chose the other way around because maybe she thinks that she needs to sell her pussy and con someone everytime she needs to get some universal solvent. I’m not mad, i’m not even angry, it’s just funny that this happens to everyone. I understand why, it’s okay, people deal with things differently. I won’t look down on her nor look at her lower, nobody dies a virgin, life screws everyone over (and over again). I just hope that she won’t become a crook when life decides to get nicer to her. That’s a figurative statement (euphemism).
I wonder how my bestfriend would feel if he knew what happened, or maybe he knows. I don’t know, I don’t actually care. Shame.
This experience actually made me appreciate life more - its diversity, complexity, and beauty.
