THE SLIPPERY CHARACTER
OF NO CHARACTER, OF PROMISES UNKEPT, OF REASONS WHY NOT

in process

GOOD INTENTIONS

"But I am so conscientious and I mean well.  I intend to do what is right."  ("The road to hell is paved with good [unkept] intentions.")

Well, one is not in a superior position to he who doesn't intend well but also doesn't get the results he has/should commit to and keep the promises implicit or explicit in life.


CONVINCING

Some people get so good at this that they even "fool" themselves (i.e. make themselves into being a fool)

They often are so subject to outside forces (as if they are helpless children) that they can't do what is right or promised, as indicated by the following reasons:

I "had to"
They talked me into it, I didn't really want to do it.  (Some mysterious force over took them and made them choose to go along with it...)
I "should" (according to others or some super-rule that is in concrete and not subject to actually thinking)


A VICTIM OF...

Promise after promise is not kept to those who don't apply lots of force to this slippery character.  He doesn't keep promises to himself, as he is "subject to forces beyond his own control", "pressure", "circumstances" - as if a child with no power.  He doesn't keep promises to his spouse and also to his family - he lets them get "hind tit", if any at all, what is left over after everyone else has taken the space up. 


OF LITTLE CHARACTER, BASED ON THE ACTUAL EVIDENCE

He/she is a person of little character, not yet able to stand up and be an adult, a victim of life, others, circumstances, demands... 

And his results in life are the evidence that tell us what is actually true.

He/she is living no real life and having no real relationships ("free riding" on those who are close as "they will understand" or "I'll give to them and do my part, but later, and then later and then later...").


_________________________________

Oh, and the best excuse of all is that he does so much good "out there" and keeps his promises "out there", producing value "out there" - but the truth is that he is simply driven to do those, in order to selfishly keep getting approval and/or avoiding disapproval by meeting demands from "out there". 

But "in here" and "in the relationship", he does not keep his promises - and he has a "good excuse" for that.

But, still, he/she is truly a man/woman of little character - according to reality (evidence).



Responsibility, Victimhood, And Power In Life - Contents, Links - Read at least the first two pieces, but it is recommended you study the whole subject (but the problem is that a victim typically will not be responsible enough to persist in studying until he/she has sufficient understanding.

The only valid criteria

This article is not about judging someone as "good/bad".  It is only about the effect actually produced and about the workability of such behavior, as discussed in Good/Bad, Right/Wrong Vs. Workable - What Is True?  It is an absolute MUST, for a good life, for you to know and understand this!
