Food for thought..

How eager we are, as human beings, to accept and embrace half-truths and assumptions. Rather than hope and believe in loyalty, honesty & trust, we swallow whole heartedly the misconceptions carelessy spilled out of the lips of others. Gleefully like children, we move through life, discarding friendships, relationships and family ties with the same disregard we give to an old pair of shoes. Like material goods, we assume people are disposable and easily replaced.

But who is to blame for the careless cast-off lifestyle? The ones who spill the untruths and deception, or rather, the one who laps it up like sweet ambrosia, willingly bending his heart and mind to adjust the whimsy, human nature to that of one being led blindly by the nose?

Be careful on that which you build your life. Like a house built upon the sand, if you base your decisions on assumptions alone, the foundation beneath will slowly fade away, leaving you with nothing more than a clenched fist. In holding onto your perceptions, you refuse to open your heart and self to possibilities.
