The truth that any fool can see…
Sometimes, you think you want to know the truth…until you actually get it.
Sometime, somewhere you’ve heard someone say with conviction,
"There are two kinds of truth…" You might have even said it yourself.
What usually follows is another sip of whatever you’re drinking and then the definitive explanation of the two kinds of truth. Something like (swallow): "there’s the truth that hurts us and the truth that hurts others" or "there are truths of reason, and truths of fact" or, maybe "there are absolute truths and then there are relative truths…"
Wait till I get going! Where was I? Ahh, yes…
There is "the truth of the intellect and the truth of the heart," "the small truth and the great truth," and don’t forget "the literal truth and the poetic truth," but the best one we’ve come accross goes like this: "There are two kinds of truth, the truth you can read in a book and the truth that any fool can see." Actually, if you think about it long enough, it makes no sense to say there are two kinds of truth. The truth will always be the truth… no matter how hard it hits us, no matter how painful it gets… the truth will always be it.
Sometimes, people think they can fool you and say stuff you want to hear… Stuff like, "I like your dress," or "You’re lookin’ good today," or "You take care," or worse…"I Love you." For all we know, what he or she really meant was, "You have a poor sense of fashion (with evil grin)" –> I already have a person in mind for this, or "You look awful but I wanna be nice today so I’ll just say you’re looking good," or "you take care on your way out ‘coz I don’t wanna talk to you ‘coz you’re boring," or worse, "I love you (laughs). I know you want to hear these words so hear them loud and clear baby!! (with evil intention)."
Sometimes… Well, most of the time… It’s not what you say; it’s how you say it. But then again, an actor’s words can be mistaken for the truth. But still, the point remains: TRUTH does hurt, but it will set you free. If you ask me, I would rather have someone be blunt about the truth and say it to my face, than act normal, and then the next minute, everything’s a mess. It’s more difficult that way, you know.
It’s hard to think how people can easily make up words and say these to you. Making you believe it’s the truth, but as time passes by, you realize, it’s not. They were just words put together to make you feel like heaven at that exact moment, where he or she sees that your door of vulnerability has been opened. At that moment, you suddenly feel that everything’s true… until… until you come to that day… that dreadful day, that you then realize, everything was a lie…and then you realize, sometimes, you think you want to know the truth, until you actually get it. The truth will set you free, but first it will make you miserable.
Sometimes, you think you want to know the truth, until you actually get it.

whoah! i never thought you’d be such a writer as well!!!
i really like people who loves to write. even if it is about themselves or others…
people who makes diaries of events or observations… though i havent been writing again for the past months, i still make it a habit to read notes such as these and appreciate that people still want and like to write and be read in a diff point of view.

How come I never get to see this person? This man who writes as though his heart is torn, bleeding with every line? Do you keep him hidden, locked inside, like a clown?
Then welcome to my world! I think those who are blessed with the gift of art are usually cursed to live in misery otherwise the art dies inside us. Pain teaches us emotions we never knew existed. Many of the things we get to feel are so profound, so overwhelming that I think there is an actual word for it.
I know how deceiving people can be. Remember what I told you? Life is full of disappointments, Guddz, more will come, but in the end, as long as you don’t let these things change you into something evil, you will win. God is good. He rewards the faithful.
