It’s not good to learn too much.
It’s not good to read up too much.
It’s not good to know too much.
Curiosity really kills the cat.
Take any close friend of yours and think about him/her.
How often have your opinions of him/her changed?
How often have you loved and hated him/her?
How often have you trusted and distrusted him/her?
How often have you agreed and disagreed with him/her?
How often have you been feeling secured and insecured with him/her?
Think about the above, and add in more of your own questions that are similar. Then think again.
This time, think about your first opinions, love, trust, agreements, security with him/her.
Then, think about how did they change.
Is it because other people’s words made you change your thoughts of him/her?
If so, what makes you think their words are reliable?
If so, what did they say?
Did they tell you your friend has been flirting around?
If so, how true? Or, why?
Did they tell you your friend has been seen doing weird stuffs?
If so, how true? Or, why?
Did they tell you your friend has been seen in red light districts?
If so, how true? Or, why?
Did they tell you your friend has been backstabbing you?
If so, how true? Or, why?
Truths can never come from third parties.
Truths can only come from the victim, the accused, the backstabbed, the slandered.
Truths cannot be told by looking at CCTVs.
Truths cannot be told by looking through text messages in the phones of the “victim’s flirt victims.”
Truths cannot be told by seeing your friend talking to him/herself from a distant.
Truths cannot be told by looking at chatlogs that shows your friend gossiping about you.
Truths, or rather, answers. Can only be told by the very person who holds onto it. Ask. If they don’t answer, or if they give you bull shit, just take it. Teachers don’t kill you for leaving questions blank, do they?
Opinions change every now and then. We are all getting bad opinions, and good opinions.
I have a set of good opinions, and a set of bad opinions for every single person I know.
I know very well, what bad opinions people would have of me. I know very well too, to what degree of badness should opinions of me be.
One shit thing about these is probably when you do neutral to good stuffs, and create bad opinions for yourself.
An example would be when, being a guy, you try to catch up with your friends, say, females. Others then think of you as trying to hook them up. Next thing you know, you’ve a new label, probably as a “despo” or something.
To make it even more interesting, now think of those labelling you a despo telling your girlfriend that you’ve been trying to hook other girls up. And it sadly actually happens.
Second letter, letter before the last, fifth letter.
