People are so complex. I have been thinking a lot lately about how we get into each other's heads. Why do we crave knowing what other's are thinking? I am always wondering what other's are thinking, feeling and churning around in there. Why? Why do I even care?
I think maybe it has to do with my appreciation for honesty. I am someone who, for the most part, tells the truth. I'm not perfect, sometimes I lie..but even in those situations, when it comes down to it, I come out with how I really feel. When you've been through a situation or incident where you end up getting hurt by lies, I think you gain a new appreciation for honesty.
Humans are smart. We are clever beings. We have the skills for deception and also the ability to become completely vulnerable by telling the truth; but in my experience I've found that you employ one or the other. People who lie are usually afraid of being vulnerable, afraid of letting their internal core get rocked by someone else's truth or worse...their own. People who are wide open are often seen as crazy or overwhelming. Obviously, we should all have internal boundaries, we should always be protecting ourselves. BUT WHY DO PEOPLE LIE!?
Being caught up in a web of your own lies is difficult to deal with...being the victim who is being lied to is a whole different story. It makes you lose trust and it makes you lose faith. I do know, I am aware, that I can only control myself. I hope that I have chosen people to be my friends that are honest, good people...I think this time around that I have. I hope.
