Always Expect The Best in People

All my life (23 years only actually), I was raised by loving parents, who taught me to always expect the best in people, rather than the worst in people. Frankly, I never think that's a problem, or I would say, something extraordinary, until recently. 

I guess, life has always been too good to me. Families, extended families, friends, coworkers, bosses etc. I guess I am always surrounded by people around me, who really care for me genuinely. I've never actually been through any huge dramas in life too. 

Fights, for me, it's always just something that comes and goes, like a flu. At times, there is literally nothing we need to do, and the flu just recover when it's time. Some big ones, yea, perhaps it takes some prescriptions, a.k.a. a friendly gesture; a sincere apologies; help from another mutual friends etc. After that, things would be back to their status quo. 

I don't think I'm a difficult person. I am blunt, probably a little bold. When I'm comfortable, I tend to just say what I think. Experience tells me, people kinda read me quite easily, which sometimes is a bad thing. Anyway, everyone has their flaw, like how not one program is perfect. They always appear to have some cliché that need fixing here and then. Hahaha. So, yea, the fancy Tiff software couldn't escape too. Hah. 

If you ask me, have I ever been betrayed in life? Not that I remember. Have I ever been wronged in life? Well, who else doesn't. However, the principle that I hold on to is that, be hostile but remain polite towards people who aren't genuine; but never forget the ones who stay close and love me. I don't know if this is weird, but this mindset of mine has gotten me through 23 years, and guess what, I am still standing, I am still happy. Look around, I only see groups and groups friends (fine, perhaps some acquaintances too). 😒 

Here comes the main reason I wrote this. An incident that happens lately got me thinking, friendship can be like a bubble too (FYI, there is a song by G.E.M -- singing about how love is like a bubble), pop upon a soft touch. For me, I always believe that honesty is one key element in building a strong foundation for any kind of friendship. Yet, I'm not so sure now. It seemed like it takes some white lies too. My Conscience Department has been a little bit uncomfortable about it, but my Logical Excecutive Manager tells me, this measure is for the better. I don't know, but well, what has been done is done. So, yea. Maybe it IS for the better. 

Tiff. 

Peace.
