Dear…

Have you ever believed something that turned out to be a lie?

Something…that you once could die for by defending it…because you believed in it? Whatever your belief said?

Meet Sarah.

She was told this when she was just 4 years old by her elder sister aged 9, “Sarah, do not eat eggs. Eating eggs will make you grow hair on your chest. Do you want to look like Dad?”

Sarah dutifully nodded a no.

Her elder sister continued, “Of course, you don’t want to. You are a smart girl. Next time Mom gives you eggs… just give them to me. I’ll eat them for you…”

Sarah replied, “I will give them back to Mommy.”

Her elder sister thought for a while, humming loudly.

Then she said, “That will make Mommy angry. Mommy wants you to eat your food, even when you don’t want to. You know that. Do you want to make Mommy angry?”

Sarah shook her head, spitting an emphatic response, “No!”

Sarah started giving her eggs to her elder sister during breakfast.

Sarah only discovered last year how nutritious eggs actually are through a promoted tweet.

Even so, I still maintain that I find promoted tweets annoying and irrelevant.

Now her elder sister has an awesome body that even John Biden follows through a hidden Twitter account.

And…our Sarah now realizes it. Her elder sister stole her life proteins. Proteins that were supposed to be Sarah’s in the first place.

In Biblical terms, Sarah is Esau…and Jacob is the elder sister.

Sarah believed a lie, and now Sarah has to look up to people like Nicki Minaj for “flesh addition” tips.

Me…too. Like Sarah, I was placing belief in something that turned out to be a complete lie. Just recently.

I honestly believed that if a girl called you dear, that meant the girl liked you.

Today, my ex-girlfriend wrote me a letter. It started with “Dear Vincent…”

At first, the dear made me think she wanted me back.

But…as I kept on reading the letter, her familiar words of hate, regret and more hate started greeting me.

I sat down and looked down.

What was going on?

What’s going on is that I placed my belief on a basic letter formality to…

Damn it!! It sounds even stupider when I say it!!
