What a Freaking Joke

Warning: If you are reading this, and are part of the MS Pagan community, this is me venting- getting all of my frustrations out so that I can deal with them. Be prepared for some inflammatory and generalized opinions.

Ok, I need a place to vent. I don't have anywhere else to talk about this topic, because I really don't want to feed the negative energy that is going on in the Jackson Pagan community right now. Having said that, I need to get some of these nasty thoughts out of my head.

Sometimes, I think that Pagans in general are the most needy, drama-producing bunch of people I have ever met. Know that I say this having been involved in theater- and I think Pagans are worse. Not that I think that everyone should have this high standard of ethics, or that everyone should have a rudimentary idea of what works in group dynamics and conflict resolution...but come on, people? Did you just crawl out of a cave? Have you been living sad little lonely existences, not having to deal with and interact with people in a responsible manner? Have you had no "outside my own little world" training? Jeeeezus!

I knew there was a reason that I didn't want to get involved in the cluster fuck that going on in the Jackson community. I am feeling very discouraged because I don't know how to help, or if I should even bother. I guess I have been spoiled by having dealt with mature and responsible adults for my short career as a Pagan. Diana's Grove is like a pristine laboratory for group dynamics, and now I have walked into the Pit of Depair complete with the Six Fingered Man trying to suck my life away.

I know that is a bit dramatic, but I did confess before that I was previously involved in theater.

Getting to my point, I don't know if I want to bother to continue with these people. I have tried to give good suggestions, but I am generally ignored by the general populace who want to continue to hash, rehash, and hash again the immature behavior that has already occurred, and then also heap their own hot coals of insipid self-important behavior upon the ruin of what was starting to be a functioning community. Should I bother? Being a solitary has never been what I crave- I totally love being in community- but I can't handle all of this childish drama.

I will have to think on this, and do a tarot reading about it.
