Will You Just Shut the Fuck Up?

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but every once in awhile it falls upon me. Sadly enough, this isn't the worst of it. Those who the news pertains to aren't willing to accept this news, or the bearer of it.1

It'd be easy to bitch about nearly anything, and practically pertain in no way to this subject, but let us go over a few facts. First, as many people in this world will choose, stealing is wrong. Of course, this is a moral issue, and there are bends that one can find within these rules. Second, wanting someone for one's own personal gain is also wrong, and again, a moral issue. So what does this leave us at? EVERYTHING is a moral issue, and no one can really decide what's right or wrong, for the definition of right and wrong are written by homo sapiens. If, for example, we were to come upon another race of intelligent beings, their definition of what right and wrong will more than likely be different than ours. As such, so is right and wrong differentiated between individuals.2

So that leaves us at this: each of us can and possibly will be offended by another's action. What we see as wrong is what they see as right. And honestly, we have no say in what they believe in, without invading their own personal values. To interfere with their own being and change them is not advised.3

So with all this information in mind, why is offending someone so great? If one does not apologize. I know it seems very awkward to apologize for something that you believe is right, so the most logical solution in any given situation would be for that who offended to apologize and explain, and the one who was offended to apologize and understand. This in no way changes another's morals, but also loses the offensive feel, and creates a new sense of freedom.4

Why then, is it so hard to apologize? It might be because the sense of embarrassment, or the pride itself is so high that one cannot commit a humble act. I personally have refused to apologize on very rare occasions, but I try and forget the situation, not keep it within mind.5

At the moment, we now have a fighting feud going on between two individuals, and this has continued for roughly 5 months. While this situation was, in the beginning acceptable, it is now not only a nuisance, but a hinder upon those who are involved within a third party. I have grown increasingly tired of "this bullshit" and am setting my foot down as hard as I'm physically capable of.6

Chance and Ronnie, while you are both great friends, and you both decided that your friendship must end over such a petty thing, honestly, just SHUT. THE. FUCK. UP. I, and a number of others, are sick of hearing you complaining about the other. Taking low blows at the other does not raise either of you in my, or anyone else's eyes. In fact, we can't even have fun anymore without one or the other making a simple problem elevate into an epic tragedy.7

The solution to this problem? Well, whilst I condone violence, if I ever, EVER hear one of you say something bad about the other to me, I will slap you across the face. I hate to do it, but this talking thing isn't working. Probably because neither of you are willing to listen. If I actually was perfectly okay with violence, I would probably consider killing you if this offense were continued, but, I don't.8

Violence doesn't solve anything. So what will slapping you do? Nothing. Hopefully I will never, ever have to do that. No one said you had to be friends. I don't care what you think of the other, either. Go home and scream at the top your lungs how much you truly hate them. But if I am within the same room, or on the same IM conversation, or anything of the sort, and I hear you say something strongly negative about the other, so help me, I will slap you. I'm sick of this, and even if I'm the only one to take a step to this, I'll damn well do it.9

I'm not doing this for either of you. I'm doing this for myself, and other third-party members who you've made the past five months a living hell.10
