In recent times, I’ve been grappling with a troubling trend, one that’s not just personal but seems to be a broader societal issue. It’s about the growing cowardice and dishonesty I’ve observed in men today.
The Blue Creatures in the Sky: A Case Study in Avoidance
Let me share a more detailed account of the ‘blue creatures in the sky’ incident, which, while almost comical, sadly illustrates the lengths to which some will go to avoid honest communication.
A friend, who was more like a brother to me, approached me one day with a story that was as perplexing as it was unexpected. He claimed that he had seen ‘blue creatures in the sky’ who had apparently conveyed a message – we could no longer be friends.
It was a tale so bizarre, so out of left field, that I was momentarily speechless.
In the clarity of hindsight, the truth was far simpler and all too human. He had started a new relationship, and his partner, for reasons unknown to me, was not keen on our friendship. Instead of confronting the issue head-on, my friend chose to fabricate an otherworldly story.
