Fake Fake Fake

This is a personal rant based on some recent experiences I've had. Let's call it a purging of the poison.
As hard as I try... I will never comprehend how some fake and deplorable people manage to sink their filthy tentacles into good and honest folk... How they're able to trick and deceive those that normally are very perceptive . It baffles my mind to see truly intelligent people being taken in by OBVIOUS fakes... I'm talking about people who aren't even clever in the way that they corrupt and conjure.
Oh sure.. we give people the benefit of the doubt. We humor people. Sometimes, we even know for a fact that they are liars and manipulators, and yet we still entertain them... for whatever reason. That's not my issue. I'm all for second, third, fourth chances...
But what I don't understand is how people can't see through blatant bullshit. When someone is such an incredibly nebulous liar that even people who've never encountered them personally can see through it. How is it that they are able to maintain meaningful relationships with smart and astute individuals? Are these people really blind to it? Or do they choose to ignore it for nostalgic reasons?? I don't get it. I really don't.
I've been known to show compassion to those that I am aware are prevaricators... perhaps this is done on some sort of self sacrificial level. Hell, we've all done it. And it makes us feel good. Like we're the better person blah blah blah. But at some point, when the writing is all over the wall, it becomes necessary to stop and friggin READ IT!
As for me... I'm through with it. I'm not going to allow anyone to pull the wool over my eyes. If it costs me friendships then I guess that's the way the cookie crumbles. But I'd rather maintain some personal dignity and remove the poison from my life... Does this mean that I no longer associate with people who have engaged in questionable behavior? Of course not. Because that would be.... everyone.
It simply means that if you have personally wronged me.. more than once... and those that I love... more than once... and you try to lie cheat and steal your way out of taking responsibility for your atrocious actions... well, I don't have time for you. Go away.
The internet is a cesspool for bad apples to mingle with decent people... and once they plant the seed they begin to germinate... and then bloom... and then with their little particles of bullshit they pollinate... and their pollution travels and stinks up the whole joint... I am making every effort to not be a link in that chain of toxicity.
