Ever need advice and go to a friend who can be an objective bystander. I suppose the important part of asking for advice is to be able to provide as much information as possible. You know to get the best advise.
However if you know information that could be critical to that advice but you can’t give that information because you aren’t even supposed to have that information in the first place. Now from an ethical standpoint you really have no obligation to keep this information a secret because no one has ever asked you to keep it a secret.
So there is this information about things and about stuff that I shouldn’t know. That person doesn’t know I know these things but probably should guess that I know because the person who did know them was awful about not telling things that they knew about stuff. In fact telling things about stuff was a bit of an aphrodisiac (I totally rocked that spelling without looking… I’m not a good speller so it’s exciting for me) for that person but it didn’t work the other way. Odd I know but the point is knowing things and telling them isn’t something I do. I know things about stuff about a lot of people, a lot of the stuff I know is rather innocuous and more I don’t want people to know and other stuff is all WTF they did what? If I know something about you I’m going to keep it secret even if you don’t ask me too or know that I know the stuff. If I know something about myself I’ll keep it to myself except when plied by bourbon, generally a lot of it too. There are things about myself I’m sure I don’t know and if I don’t know them it’s probably better that I don’t know them.
Why keep the secrets at all, well I’m no saint so using the stuff I know as leverage doesn’t usually work too well but as confidant I’m aces and having friends is better than having leverage.
So I really know what I should do here in this situation but there is a part of me that really wants to do the wrong thing. I know surprise. I don’t really think of it as all that wrong either. Yes other people do but I don’t. No it’s not illegal.
So I tell my friend to say, You bad (wag a finger at me and look sternly as if disappointed)
I hung my head in a façade of shame all is good in the world.
NO, Then the friend says but you know if you did it like this it could work. OMG WTF FML w/o KYJ
I came to you because I know you are a solid person you are the rock of mostly ethical behavior. I can count on you to do the right thing because it is the right thing.
Now if you start offering me options, now I’m really likely to just spiral out of control. I really know these are things I shouldn’t do. These are things that I want to do but I need an external conscience especially for the wrong but not criminal stuff. I can justify away all the arguments for why I shouldn’t do them, I’m all good in that department what I need help with is the why I should do the right thing in these moments. A person who will say that will make me think less of you if you do them.
So now I’m on the fence, but I‘m likely to do the right thing… well most likely. However I will say my friend did make very good effort to distract me from the main bad thing to another thing which was equally tempting but not bad at all but then that back fired and this has a bad angle to it now too. You know it could be the name. there is a connection in all of this to names even to other stuff. Hmmm…nope I’m not telling.
So the next distraction, came from another external source and then we were both distracted.
I need to say no to this distraction because in less than a minute I had inklings of a altogether new career for less than 1000 dollars of start up money. Yeah you don’t want to know. I’m not going to go there either because you may end up thinking less of me than you already do up to this point.
In other news, stunt boy has surgery tomorrow for an impacted canine tooth so that’s what I’m doing tomorrow. Stuntboy had some seriously messed up teeth. Now they are mostly not messed up. There was this one little tooth that there was no room for and his orthodontist made ample room for this tooth but it’s being non cooperative with the surfacing into the world. So they are going to coax it into the world of chomping and biting with knives and drugs. I think surgeons just really like to cut on people and this allows them to do it for money and not go to jail.
That’s all for now, other stuff tomorrow
