it never fails to baffle me
how no one, not even me, can be completely upfront with people when we need to be.
what on earth are we so afraid of? are we just afraid of the other person’s words as we are of our own?
what makes us think that keeping silent about it will make things better for us in the long run?
nothing ever, ever, goes according to plan.
so why do we, as human beings, plan to hide things from one another in order to keep the peace, even though the eventual revelation will cause even more discord than before?
i’ll never understand why none of us learn from this lesson, no matter how many years we spend dealing with the consequences.
