let me cling to my delusions for just a few more moments???
if you knew something or thought something, would you tell?
well, it's an honest question. personally, i think that it depends on the person and the situation, really.
... sometimes its important to say something, like when someone is doing something that's self-destructive ... sure, maybe doesn't affect others, but it could limit or even seriously hurt themselves. then yeah, i'd say something.
but sometimes, that person just doesn't really want to know what you think. and how do you know whether you really SHOULD say something? is it worth the hostility when what you think doesn't coincide with what the other person wants to hear?
we were talking about a person the other day, and someone asked me if i knew something back then, why didn't i say something before. i was like ... because you wouldn't have listened. lol
so we promise to be honest and say what we think, because isn't that what friendship is all about???? but then we get mad when the person says something we don't want to hear. then why demand that the person be honest and tell you exactly what they think?
come ON people! we ALL have times like that. Sometimes we don't want the benefit of what other people already know or think, because maybe it would be nice to keep the rose-tinted shades on for just a few more moments in time ... people just have times when they don't want to hear stuff. that's cool.
just because we don't agree, doesn't make you any less a friend. just because we don't see things the same way, doesn't make me respect you or care about you any less. so what if we don't agree? if that's the case, don't get mad at me, get over it.
even as friends -- no, especially as friends!! -- we don't have to agree on what's important. if you want that, get urself a cardboard cut out. been there, done that, the t-shirt didn't fit.
