Denial isn't just a river in Africa

Few things in life annoy me. Rude people, of course. And deliberately stupid people. I know, you think no one can be deliberately stupid. It doesn’t make sense. But they’re out there. All cozily wrapped up in their denial and plausible deniability. Telling themselves pretty stories and painting themselves as martyrs. I’m talking about intelligent people. As the scriptures say, “There are none as blind as those who don’t want to see.” And what’s girl like me to? Educate them? Oohhh hell no! You know what happens to the bearer of bad news? This messenger would rather not get shot, thank you very much. And then I wonder, does it make me a bad friend, not being honest and saying it like I see it? I don’t think so, cos I know my words will fall on deaf ears. And also, as I said, we’re dealing with intelligent people who do know what’s going on. Yep, denial isn’t just a river in Africa.
