I guess I just want to rant a little bit, or as I have started to say recently, a likkle bit. I think I heard it in Calabria and then started using it ever since. Regardless, I found that people are naturally not gullible. Actually, it is not as simple as that, because people tend to be gullible on a lot of other things, however, when it comes to more serious things, people are not gullible at all.
Why is it, when people say something such as, "Hey, you're physically attractive," and do not say, "Who says that? This is an unrealistic example," because someone said it to me on the boardwalk of Ocean City so HA! Anyway, when people say things like this, people have a terribly difficult time believing them. It is seemingly impossible to find someone, except for people who are described as "arrogant" to be like, "hey, you know what, I actually kind of am." Yet, we look down upon people who accept compliments, saying, "Oh, look, he is so cocky knowing he is good looking." If the person is attractive the person is attractive. If you are thinking, yeah she actually is attractive, or he is good at tennis, and then they know it, how is that wrong of them to admit? Perhaps they are not humble, but not being humble does not just mean arrogance. Perhaps they just are confident, the fine line that splits the two. Regardless, this is not the meaning of this post.
So, people say things all of the time, "I like you," "What you did was fine," "I am okay, truly," and yet people say, "No you are not.", as if people continually tell lies upon lies to everyone. It is weird to see people who you are actually friends with too deny things like, "You cannot possibly feel like that, tell me the truth." I just think about it for a bit and just cannot comprehend why I would lie to begin with. You ask me "How are you" or "What is your opinion of this" or "Do you hate me?" and I answer. I do not care if it is opposite of what you thought my answer would be, just trust the fact that I have no reason to lie to you. If I am feeling shitty, have confidence that I am going to say it. I understand this world is lacking communication, but it is perhaps because we do not care enough to believe people anymore. Perhaps it just frustrates me, because I trust everything a person says, and also expect that in return. I also believe I have no reason to lie and thus always tell the truth, and when someone things that I am not telling the truth, it frustrates the crap out of me.
This ties in with do not assume something about me either. I am complicated as an individual like any other unique person on this earth. Sometimes I react differently than you would, or you think I would. Sometimes I shock myself. The only thing you can do is if you assume something and it is wrong, accept that you were wrong and do NOT fight me saying that I cannot possibly feel that way or think like that. I understand sometimes it is hard to be like, "Oh, okay, well that is not what I was thinking," because some situations are just very difficult to comprehend. People are enigmas. We live in a mysterious world. And nothing seems constant or predictable.
Start trusting your fellow human. If they lie to you, it is their problem because it very difficult to live a life full of lies, and a way to make someone live freer and richer is by telling people the truth.
I have no idea if this makes any sense, it was a rush of emotion I had to write down. I apologize to the readers and my future self when I re-read this and think to myself, "Why, that made no sense. Good job past me." Smile.
