Whitemail

~ Gottfried

Whitemail is the use of fear, obligation, and guilt to control another person. It’s a rare strain of emotional blackmail found in adults over forty years of age. The self is like a pimping blackmailing chauffeur who gets you from here to there on word lines. Always remember this. You are not special. You are not a beautiful or unique snowflake. You are the same decaying organic matter as everything else. If you were meant to be controlled, you would have come with a remote.

Blackmailed by sweet-smelling roses. I stopped to smell roses once. A bee flew out of the flower and up my nose. It stung me in the nasal vestibule causing a severe allergic reaction and six days of a swollen septum. Now whenever I see roses, I keep walking. Narcissists often pause their abuse with intermittent periods of seeming kindness and warmth. This causes you to become trauma-bonded to them, constantly trying to make them happy. Then when they became abusive again, you may believe you deserve it.

Blackmail is one of the great past-times of family life. All children blackmail their parents with their innocence. The older you get, the better you get, unless you’re a banana. While you’re stabbing my back, would it hurt you to also kiss my behind? If you’re going to be two faced at least make one of them pretty. Sometimes giving someone a second chance is like giving them an extra bullet for their gun because they missed you the first time.

Friendship is mutual blackmail elevated to the level of love. True friends are the ones that have nice things to say about you behind your back. A true friend is someone who thinks you’re a good egg, even though they know you’re slightly cracked. Too many people take advantage of the trust they are given. Five enemies of peace inhabit with us – avarice, ambition, envy, anger, and pride. If these were to be banished, we should infallibly enjoy perpetual peace.

Whitemail is more effective than bribery. No banks should become so big that they can blackmail the government. In the same vein, Government by blackmail is incompatible with Democracy. Rights are something made up by the government to make you feel like you’re buying something with your taxes. Marriage has no guarantees. If that’s what you’re looking for, go live with a car battery. Love is a wonderful thing, my dear, but it leaves you wide open for blackmail.

Gratitude is a debt that usually goes on accumulating like blackmail. The more you pay, the more is demanded. Let’s pray that the human race never escapes to spread its iniquity elsewhere. Whatever happens, know this for sure, whoever is trying to bring you down is already below you. Being nice to people gets you nowhere. Being arrogant gets you nowhere.

Blackmail, now that’s a thing that will get you everywhere.

  1. You should believe me, Gottfried, your content is stronger than content on other blogs.

    About friendship???
    I got some emails from newbies to write a perfect blog or something similar like that. Well, I try to help them with whatever I can. Then I inform them about some brilliant bloggers I know. You are one of them.

    I trust you. Thanks for inspiring us.

      1. You too.

        I haven’t write a story. But you have to accept it, if I say I’m living it. Our friendship is such an example. Everytime I meet you, we discuss different topics. Our conclusions lead us to the next stop. We never stop.

        It happens because as humans we can sense/feel each other. A story should have a sensation of human and human feelings.

  5. Of Whitemail and Blackmails – the goal is the same: to devalue or mininmize another’s id.
    Love your banters as usual. Howabout the “banana” and the primates? You and Cindy are something else.
