RE: If You Only See Yourself
I don't think love is blind; love sees everything, including the negatives, and that's how it should be. Loving someone means that you have judged them honestly and support them loyally, regardless of the things that person does that you don't like so much. After all, we are not perfect ourselves and we also have our bad days and our bad qualities.
If the other person truly appreciates us as their partner, I would gladly embrace all of them, flaws and all. I can easily overlook certain things when there is mutual respect. But the moment they start acting like they’re 'God’s gift' to the world, every little imperfection becomes incredibly annoying
God's gift, I had to throw up when I read that. I know exactly what you mean. That whole attitude alone is sickening. I wonder how people can get to that point of thinking, honestly, only people with an inferiority complex think that way. No normal, right-minded person even thinks in such extremes and doesn't feel the need to constantly say or prove it. These kinds of people have a lot to learn, and what they certainly don't realise is that they are making enemies and that, in reality, many people don't find them nice, attractive, charming or a gift from God at all, quite the contrary. These are the kinds of people who would be the first to be eliminated if you had the chance to do something with impunity for 24 hours. A film has also been made about this, so the subject is clearly a live one. I always wonder what kind of parents these people have and whether those parents ever feel the urge to give their child a good kick up the backside. I certainly would do that to my son. I brought them into this world, so I can also kick them out again. At least I'm not so blind that I don't see these kinds of traits in the people around me or my children. That doesn't mean I would accept everything, on the contrary. But I'm not going to argue about toothpaste caps not being on the tube. Fortunately, I don't have to, and that also applies to changing things, because I have people around me who have roughly the same lifestyle. Furthermore, I now assume that if I accept something from others, they will accept something from me. It can't be that one person lies on the sofa all day and I do all the work. I'm not having any of that. When it comes down to it, I'm doing less and less, and yes, that little round "bug" crawling across the floor is my new domestic helper. I need another one that crawls across the sofa and one that crawls across the windows, although that's less important. One for the laundry wouldn't be a bad idea either, and I'll have to look for a floor scrubber to scrub the floors. And then there's the garden, of course, but I don't know if a robot like that would cope with all the bumps and lumps, partly because it used to be farmland and you could walk there, and the moles do their very best to leave their molehills everywhere. And I won't even mention the dachshund that digs all day long.
Coming back to accepting each other: you have to know yourself well to know what you can and cannot accept and simply bring this up, because after all, we all have our limits. Unfortunately, talking and communicating together is rarely done, and in that respect, it is foolish to think that you can live together. When all the tasks are always pushed onto one person, when one person always has to make all the compromises, then it is already doomed to fail. And as you wrote, you are the idiot who does not realise how he is being treated and rolls through the shit, while the rest stand by and watch, not lifting a finger, let alone saying a word.

I’ve always been so aware of my own shortcomings that I felt I should be grateful for anyone to accept me as I am. So, it was a total shock to encounter someone who thinks they can do no wrong. In their delusional eyes, they are a duo of a Saint Mother raising a God son. Yeah, I want to vomit too. It’s a total delusion that invalidates every real issue I try to bring up. They act as if they have no shortcomings at all—like you should just stand there in awe and tell them even their farts smell nice.
Like you, I wish I could reclaim my time from all these chores and spend it on things that actually matter. Housekeeping robots should be able to handle everything around the house by now. They just need to become affordable enough for the rest of us
The idiot definitely knows they’re rolling in manure by now. The real problem is that the manure doesn't realize it's manure yet. It’s still convinced it’s God’s gift to the world.
