You think you know??

It's really strange the number of times we all can be wrong about the things we totally put our beliefs in, things we assume to be true with all heart..when in fact in the end they all just turn out to be lies, illusions we just made up according to our convenience, or worse still beliefs that were passed on to us, time tested to be true since eternity. And in the end they all turn out to be misquoted....nobody ever tells you about the strings attached..that there are certain conditions that apply.

People say that they know me, have known me all my life, know me inside out. And I can't even begin to tell you how often we are wrong when we say that. No one ever really knows a person except for that person. We've all got a good , a bad and an ugly side to us...but nobody but me can see them all, 'cause we all just put up a charade depending upon who we are with and where we are....adapting to the environment at it's best. Everybody who looks at me sees a different face, it's not my face that changes. It's what people have in their minds that changes the whole way in which they perceive me to be. They see what they think to be true, what they want to see...oblivious to the real me. So the next time you feel that you really know the people around you, think again..do you really know??

Another thing we all blindly put our faith in is the concept of love....To fall in love head over heels, not caring about one's own self, just falling totally and completely in love with that one perfect person. Which is just about the biggest lie I've ever heard. Love is totally over rated. Falling blindly in love and giving your all to someone sounds real great...but only when the guys in Hallmark talk about it, 'cause for them love sells. Loving someone more than one's own self is the biggest illusion about love ever created. The only person you can love totally, without conditions, no matter what happens...can only be your own self, it can never be some one else. No matter what all those lovey-dovey songwriters say, from another person you'll always want something back. Real life love is just about how much you can stand each other, how much of each other's worst can you take and if you can even it out.....if you can like a person at their worst. If you think a girl still looks like the most precious thing on the earth on a day she's got a real bad cold and is totally dishevelled and is cribbing about it all day long... that's what I'd say love is about.

So next time before you really think you really know it all about something...just reach in deep in your mind and ask yourself if you really do know about it, or do you just think you know...
