Truth

My thought of the day:

I find life full of surprises, good and bad, but never clean. It always comes dirty. Twists and turns everywhere. Everything becomes convoluted. Then in the end, what is the truth? Can you believe everything someone tells you, anything he or she tells you? Do they even know the truth of what they're trying to tell you? As well as you may think you know yourself, I don't believe that everything you say is truth... completely valid. Maybe you think it's true at the time, but it might not end up being true in the end.

Realizing the truth has been a theme in my life. The things people try to hide from each other, the lies that are told, the subjects people avoid discussing or try to cover up... It all ends up hurting someone. If there is one thing in life that is always true, it is that someone will always get hurt. There is just no way to avoid that. Thus the pain, the hurt- it is a universal theme that should connect everyone in the world. We should be able to share this commonality... but we don't. The hurt usually just alienates us more. Pulls us away from friendships, relationships, the ability to trust, the ability to live without feeling disillusioned.
