Dear GT
Who is Pamela? I see that name several times in the different blogs.

Sign me Curious.

Dear Curious:

Pamela is an invented name for a charicature of a lady who, though not necessarily rich, is a snob, a hypocrite and a judger. She likes to put others down to bring herself (her own poor low self esteem up) She loathes herself so much that she can't wait to go running to the neighbor or church leader with news of another's errors or random ways. (See the poem "gossip in one of the blogs, just posted yesterday.)

Pamela is the type who will copy a newpaper article on a neighbor "out of concern" when really, all she is after is to be the first to gossip about situation to put the person down, or any relatives of the person in the neighborhood. She can't wait to spread the word.

You are sure to have one or more Pamela's in your neighborhood.

Mostly she is to be pitied because she has never been "licked and groomed" so she has been on her own for validation and recognition. She is probably a beautiful awesome person,but has no liking for herself, so to cover it up she does all these uncharitable things to others to make herself look higer.

If there is anything beautiful, lovely or of good report" she will not notice it or pass it on, only the ugly, the pathological, the unwell, so that her unwellness will not look so bad on her own scale of 0 to sub 10. She could be living in the light. She could get counseling and support to bring happiness to her life, but her response would be, if confronted, "what are you talking about, I love myself; I am happy; I only do good things; I only report things out of concern for others; I am the Relief Society President or PTA President or Girl Scout Leader or 4H LEader or Webelo Leader or what ever community leadership facade she has managed to hide behind lo these many years.
