Perspective

Would you rather be protected in your own pleasant fantasy or face the harsh reality of life? Would you rather be told sweet lies or the bitter truth? Would you rather be happy but blissfully ignorant or hurt with painful knowledge that you aren't liked? You see, it's one or the other. You can't have both. It's simple; either be happy in your own little bubble, or have to cope with the unhappy facts of your life. Then again, your bubble is made of your perspective, how you view things. No matter what someone says or does, you'll always believe it to be good. Whereas if you decide to face the unhappy facts, they're not necessarily facts, are they? Again, it's your opinion, I guess. Even if someone says something nice, you'll believe there's another intention behind the obvious words. So... Is it possible to not have an opinion? And just take things as they are? Without ignorantly believing the best, or being paranoid and seeking the worst? If there is, I obviously don't know how. Or can't learn how. Whichever. It's all about how you look at things. Erica
