I wonder if we can ever truly know who a person is.
Ourselves included.
People find strength or courage they didn't know they had when put into certain unbelievable situations.
It seems to me as if soemtimes people find the opposite in really good situations as well. Then again, maybe those people were never good to begin with.
I understand that everyone on this earth (aside from psychopaths... they are a special sort of breed) has the ability to do good and to do bad. It's all about the choices we make, who we are, and who we want to be.
I've known who I want to be for a really long time. For the most part, I feel I do a good job although there are plenty of things I have left to learn and can improve on.
I want to be good and make a positive contribution to society. And on a fairly large scale.
I'm not sure quite how I want to do this so I'm working at it little by little.
I think I have to stop at this point, however, and contemplate who is going to be there to protect me and make me see the truth when I am busy focusing so hard what good there is in someone.
I guess I have to find the balance between encouraging the good and remaining unbiased and not blind to the bad.
I feel hurt and majorly taken advantage of, and worst of all, I went against my own intuition.
I'm going to continue to try my best but I will try to be less naive and more of a realist. That's what the world can do to a person.
That seems sort of self pitying, I know. But it's my way to grieve a part of me that died.
