The Mission

I am in need of a writing exercise that I will stick to. I have decided, after much deliberation with my hubby, that I am going to answer the world's questions with my snarky brand of humor. I go online, find an advice column, pick a question off it and answer it. I am choosing, for now, not to include the original answer to the question, but who knows what tomorrow may bring.
If anyone reading this wants me to mull over something and retort, just leave me a comment on one of the posts and I will get right on it!

I know it has been a while. I am starting again.

The Question:
I don’t understand why people need others to take sides in an argument. If someone is upset and wants to cut someone out of his/her life, why does that person expect family and friends to do the same — even if the disagreement had nothing to do with them? Some of them lie to force the issue. I just don’t understand — especially because we’re talking about adults.

Puzzled


Answer:

I have some personal experience with this particular situation. I believe people do this to punish the person they are angry with. It is juvenile and the fact that you don't understand it is a testament to your personal maturity. Lies are not acceptable in relationships and will eat away at the core of them. If someone has been lying to you about another person, let them know it will not be tolerated. Also, if you wish to remain unaffected declare it to be so. It is perfectly within the realm of your rights to be neutral.
