Omissions are betrayal.

Omission:
1. Someone or something that has been left out or excluded.
2. The action of excluding or leaving out someone or something.

Betrayal:

1. To be false or disloyal to.
2. To lead astray.
3. To deliver into the hands of an enemy in violation of a trust or allegiance.

It’s funny how often this happens and usually it is with “good intentions”. Someone keeps something from someone to protect their feelings. Knowing full well that if the truth was known it would hurt someone. It strikes me as odd though that we don’t seem to care about just not doing something to begin with but rather just cover it up or keep it from someone after the fact to supposedly protect them because you don’t want them to be hurt?

It’s a pretty rampant behavior actually. I don’t think we all realize just how often this occurs. For instance, a parent replacing a child’s dead pet or something without them knowing.

Some powerful lyrics. Can’t hear this song without tearing up. No greater feeling in this world then the power of love, especially that of your kids. Others love may come and go but the love of a parent just can’t be matched. I can’t fathom how someone could just leave or even worst harm a child.

Gotta hold on easy as I let you go.
Gonna tell you how much I love you, though you think you already know.
I remember I thought you looked like an angel wrapped in pink so soft and warm.
You’ve had me wrapped around your finger since the day you were born.

You’re beautiful baby from the outside in.
Chase your dreams but always know the road that’ll lead you home again.
Go on, take on this whole world.
But to me you know you’ll always be, my little girl.

When you were in trouble that crooked little smile could melt my heart of stone.
Now look at you, I’ve turned around and you’ve almost grown.
Sometimes you’re asleep I whisper “I Love You!” in the moonlight at your door.
As I walk away, I hear you say, “Daddy Love You More!”.

You’re beautiful baby from the outside in.
Chase your dreams but always know the road that’ll lead you home again.
Go on, take on this whole world.
But to me you know you’ll always be, my little girl.

Someday, some boy will come and ask me for your hand.
But I won’t say “yes” to him unless I know, he’s the half
that makes you whole, he has a poet’s soul, and the heart of a man’s man.
I know he’ll say that he’s in love.
But between you and me. He won’t be good enough!

You’re beautiful baby from the outside in.
Chase your dreams but always know the road that’ll lead you home again.
Go on, take on this whole world.
But to me you know you’ll always be, my little girl.

I’ve noticed lately that I’m hearing people say I’m very “passive aggressive” with a lot of what I say or do. I can’t say I ever really knew or understood what this meant, nor do I recognize the behavior myself.

I looked up “passive aggressive” on Wikipedia today and was kinda shocked by what I read.

Some of the stuff listed there is pretty eye opening. And sadly I think others may be on to something with this regarding me.

Some of the signs and symptoms listed seem to really be dead on.

“A pervasive pattern of negativistic attitudes and passive resistance to demands for adequate performance, beginning by early adulthood and present in a variety of contexts, as indicated by four (or more) of the following:

1. passively resists fulfilling routine social and occupational tasks
2. complains of being misunderstood and unappreciated by others
3. is sullen and argumentative
4. unreasonably criticizes and scorns authority
5. expresses envy and resentment toward those apparently more fortunate
6. voices exaggerated and persistent complaints of personal misfortune
7. alternates between hostile defiance and contrition”

Well this just isn’t good. I think I might be guilty of all of the above. Also read that the passive-aggressive often cannot trust. I know I have a MAJOR issue with trust.

Humm… this sucks. Would seem there is good reason for others to say I’m passive-aggressive.

My guess is that since this is a personality trait, likely from very early influences, there is very little that one can do to resolve and fix this. Time for more research.
