Delusional people

I will never understand delusional people … they live in a fantasy world. It usually starts with a spark of reality but the embellishment starts from the very beginning, people who witness the original event don’t even recognize it when retold by a delusional person. Sure most people will embellish a little bit just to make the story more interesting … personally I’ve never been much for this but I know it happens. A delusional person tells their fantasy so often that after a while they start to believe it. The sad I mean really sad part of it is that in many cases the true accomplishments of the person were significant in and of itself but they build themselves up so much that their true worth is lost they basically lose their souls because they are no longer living an honest life. Some delusional people are really good at maintaining the façade that most people fall for it but there are always a few who know the truth but keep quite because it is just safer to do so. Many delusional people when confronted with reality become so defensive that they are dangerous. There are some people for whom I struggle to keep myself from speaking up … I also struggle with the fact that I don’t speak up because to continue in a delusional world at some point will catch up with them … I care for them and want no harm or misfortune to come to them and at the same point don’t want harm to come to others because of the rage that sometimes goes along with the uncovering of the mountain of lies built around the delusional fantasies that these people have convinced themselves is reality. Being a simple man who tries to stay grounded it is very frustrating when witnessing delusional behavior. I know this blog post has little to do with motorcycles but it was on my mind and other places where I might post this could have negative consequences so thank you for tolerating my rant ... have a nice day.
