There Really is a Difference

Bitchy and cruel are two vastly different things, although some people in this weird world seem to think that the two are interchangable.
I pride myself on being a bitch when I need to because, well, I am. I can be a little bit bitchy or a whole lot bitchy depending on the situation. I can rant, rave and complain. I can call people on their stupid and I can make fun of just about anyone or anything. All of these things fall under the broad umbrella of bitch.
What I DON'T do, though, is use my skills, lol, to wish ill upon people. I don't take joy in pain or suffering or loss, no matter how much that person wronged me or my family. I can joke about them or make snide comments, but I'm not going to revel in their physical undoing or their personal misfortune. I have precious little respect for those who do, either. I cannot for the life of me understand how people can take pleasure in someone else's ill health or personal loss. I just can't. What kind of a bitter, small person does one really have to be for that to even enter into one's realm of thinking?
I'll stick to snark and bitch, thankyouverymuch.

Does this have anything to do with your dog giving the cranky neighbor cancer?
I hadn't even thought of that...you know, I still feel guilty that she died, but I never did wish her death or even ill health. I just wanted her to move, dammit.
She moved, all right!
As a world-class bitch myself I couldn't agree more. The only reason for such cruelty and meanness that I can comprehend is a severe blackness and rotting of the soul. And I don't think that is curable.
Nice post Ms. Kimmah.
I couldn't agree more. Although I must admit I've had a few fleeting blackrot of the soul moments.
