'A True Friend Stabs You in the Front.' Oscar Wilde

“If you know someone lies to others, what makes you think they're not lying to you?”
This one always confused The Chemical Buddha. He didn’t understand why people thought someone that lied, cheated, and gossiped wouldn’t lie, cheat or gossip about them? Although TCB did secretly appreciate when those people were surprised to find out their ‘friend’ stabbed them in the back. With The Chemical Buddha, what you saw was what you got. Anyone that hung out with TCB knew to not expect him to change for the better (or the worse). He was a notorious creature of habit, with selfish tendencies, a poor memory and a drug addled brain. He would sell anything you had to help him buy drugs and sex. You couldn’t trust him alone with anything (or anyone) you cared about. The thing is, he didn’t just do this stuff to others, but he did all of it to himself too. So, as he would say ‘at least I’m consistent.’
How do you treat others?
How do you treat yourself?
Is there a difference between the two? Why?
