Best policy?? Aw, come on.

Honesty?? Really????!!!!!!!!!! Where does that come from anyway? I am assuming that the guys who made up that idiom about truth setting you free were pukka fools---clearly out of their minds. How else can you explain the devastation that hits you so hard when faced with the raw bitterness of life?! This is not meant as a rant caused by frustration or anything. It is, however, terribly depressing when you trust someone deeply, and so utterly completely....expect them to be there for you, and then, right where you expect them to be rock-solid and reassuring....It hits you. Hard. They are NOT going to be there, especially when you most need it. The realization is a terrible one, highly terrifying.....It's one moment when you'll feel like never before. Alone. Unwanted. Unappreciated whatever you do.

This is a part of life. Not everyone is going to be around. Not everyone is who you think they are. And I am not just talking about childish squeamishness that proclaims "Looks can be deceiving". I am saying that you can really know a person, think you know that person as well as you possibly can, at least in all the relevant aspects.....and then they decide to flirt with the idea of devilry. Nice. Well, there are times when people are not going to take it lying down.
Standing up, even.

And at other times, using a blog as a sounding board helps. Immensely. Try it sometime.

I agree dee mozhi. I have seen this so many number of times that im used to it now. Like a hot iron knife through butter comes reality striking. The most trusted and counted upon people not being around when it is mission critical for thier presence to make u feel better. These are times when i feel like a chewing gum, there are so much of things... time, effort, love, money, resources that you put into someone and ensure that you stand right with them to catch them and hold them if they fall and there are so many people you do it for not just one. Its quite astounding a fact that there is not even one person whom would do it for you when you need it like more than anything during that moment of desperation and despair.

Well, whatever it was, I hope I had nothing to do with it...;) And you're right. Honesty is a construct, just like beauty and masculinity. The sooner we're done with these concepts, the better.
