I've had this idea just festering away in my mind for a week now, so here goes putting it down for the world to see:
I love how people openly lie in conversation, you know?
[That sounds harsh, but hear me out.]
It's like, people all the time ask "How are you?", and the correct response is?
A. Fine!
B. I'm okay!
C. Good, you?
D. All of the above.
Just think about that.
It's strange, to me, how society has put forth the facade of one that cares. Okay, maybe not strange, but a bit disconcerting. How long has it been like this, you have to wonder?
I mean, these "correct answers" are really all you CAN say. It keeps things upbeat. Keeps the world at an idealistic canvas.
As long as there's no sadness [displayed], where are the world's flaws?
I really don't mean to strike controversy anywhere, I've just been noticing a lot of things over the past month of this like.
[And I hate to bring music into this, but "You Don't Know Me" by Ben Folds is a perfect example of this.]
Maybe there's a tie to more, though. Is this the reason there's such a high divorce rate? Poverty rate? Chaos rate?
Anyone who knows me knows that I'm not an advocate for world peace, but I mean.. this is a valid concern, isn't it?
And being a valid concern, whose responsibility is it to fix this travesty we call communication?
-CS.
p.s. Sorry for lack of updates, you three people who got on my case for not writing in a while. Happy early let's-steal-land-from-the-Injuns day.

you know, I wasn't going to leave a comment. I was pretty sure u'd gotten tired of my opinions but well i had to give you props for your thanksgiving bashing (it's refreshing).
And two it's very true that if you walk at the mall see someone u kinda know and they ask you how your doing you don't respond, "I'm having a hard time get a girlfriend or boyfriend my life is in shambles". You simply just say "fine". So that the other person feels like a considerate person.
