Family Feuds
For the first time in my life, I tasted what it felt like to have my words twisted in a family political wrestling match in order for one side to win an argument. The worst part was, what was said didn’t even come out of my mouth! It infuriated me, but at the same time, it saddened me that they had to resort to lying to make a stance in light of my father’s passing.
Ever since my father died, the secondary issue that everybody gossips about now is how the overall combined “Chu” family wealth was to be redistributed. You see, my father had many siblings; and when it comes to money, of course, for many people the idea of “integrity” is just a recommended trait to have whilist fighting for what they think is their “fair share”… I am sure all this is making the ancestorial spirits groovy about the whole ordeal.
Family politics is fun when watching from afar. Now that I got dragged into it for a lie someone (whose name shall remane anonymous) made up, the real “fun” is yet to come.
Oh, why must “lies” and “politics” always go hand-in-hand?

Uhh, I hate these situations. Everything that has to do with family is extremely difficult: You can never fully away from it, you always play a part in whatever is going on…

Unfortunately “respect” bears much more weight than truth in the Greater “Chu” family. So I may never be able to confront this person about it or even try to clear my name. But you are right, we can’t ever completely get away from these things… But now I know to take this person’s words with a grain of salt.
