unequal

What's good for the goose is good for the gander. At least that's what they say. Yet who is this "they" who say this? I believe it is the very people who believe otherwise that usually say this. They will tell you that YOU are not being fair or equal, yet, be the very ones who behave unequally or unfairly toward others.

They will ask you to be truthful, yet never be fully honest.
They will ask that you confide in them, yet never fully divulge their thoughts.
They will ask you to be open and accepting, yet unwilling to give themselves away.
They will ask you questions, yet not give answers.
They will hold you to your word, yet not keep theirs.
They will claim to be there for you, yet not be available when you need them.

SO... Is what's good for the goose, also good for the gander? Or is the gander never good enough for the goose?
