[L'Ame Immortelle/"Stumme Schreie"]

"Sag mir: kannst du mich verstehen?"

[According to this link here: http://dictionary.reference.com/translate/index.html , the above means--"Say to me: can you understand me?" I prefer to use it as "Tell me: can [or do] you understand?", but oh well....]

Anyways, that line {From "Stumme Schreie" by L'Ame Immortelle.] is my inspiration for tonight's blog (even if I should be on my way to sleep....).

You know how you tell people something....and then tell them not to tell anyone or you'll slit their throat or whatever your death choice is?....and then they blab anyways and then there's a whole big bang of commotion and yada, yada, yada.

But before they betray your strict confidence, they ask "Why can't I tell?" and it's like.... "It's my business. I'm just telling you. Just because I told you doesn't mean you can go and tell anyone else." And they want something more complex. A simple "This is the way it is...now do me a fucking favor and deal with it" suffices for me. Not most people though. It's like....here's something person A knows....if I tell person A not to tell....person A should keep her mouth shut and if she tells person B then A will get crucified. It's that simple.

So....do we understand. Good. Because....

...people need to stop being supercilious. It's annoying.
