Left-Fielders

What's good ppl.....

Back at it again and this time, I have a question for the community.... Why is that as semi-intelligent to intelligent human beings we find ourselves engaged in relationships/relations with one another and proceed to mess up our situation? In simpler terms, why must ppl ALWAYS mess up a good thing?! Like it almost never fails with the circle of ppl I'm around, not too mention my generation as well. For example, take one of my friends who is a gifted and educated black male. He is extremely talented, women take to him pretty well, and he is a graduate from one of the top engineering schools in our nation. Now he finds himself in a relationship with an equally talented and beautiful black woman. Even gets as far as to date her.....but do you think he sealed the deal on this nice lil package?! Let's not leave out that his family adores her, she has a well paying job and a degree. NO, he doesn't. He essentially breaks her heart, changes her into a jaded, bitter female for some other negro to deal with. Thanks buddy, your fellow black men thank you across the world. Next I run into a situation where this young black woman is in a committed relationship with a faithful black male and yet again ruins her situation because she is unable to see past her own selfishness and even goes as far as to cheat on him. SMH. My most current witness to such idiotic events is to see a friend of mine have the possiblity to date this considerate and wonderful young woman, but instead decides to re-live old flames with his ex who originally left him and betrayed his feelings. Again I ask.....why would we do this to each other? Why would we do this to ourselves? Why can't we just be happy with what we've obtained or recognize good things that are in front of us? For situations such as this I have coined the term "left-fielders" to describe such individuals. When you playin yourself so far to the left that you can't get right.....you have become a left-fielder. Just ultimately you can't get yourself right. Its a sad life and disappointing story. Seen wayyyy too many ppl succumb to this disease and in my generation it is gradually spreading at a rapid rate. Also ppl fail to realize that this perpetuates the "ho" mentality within men AND women. Both which are unnecessary and unacceptable. The world needs not any more hoes.
