I am entertained by some of the mannerisms that exist within people. To be specific, rejected lovers. I understand that anger and sadness immediately ensues the aftermath of a rejection or a break-up, but I do not think one should immediately place themselves on a pedestal upon the discovery of an ex-significant other finding happiness in someone else.

“You could have done better.”

Why is that so commonly said? Is there any truth behind those words? Or is it merely a way of making yourself feel better while your wound is still fresh? I have felt the pain of rejection and heartbreak, but I don’t see the logic behind blind fury for a stranger, a replacement.

Unless you are genuinely better than that other person, the belittling of a person you do not know is immature.

It is, in fact, a laughable sight.
